Many signal processing, data analysis and graphical user interface algorithms are computationallyudintensive. This paper investigates a method of off-loading some of the calculations to remotely locatedudprocessors. Inexpensive, commercial off the shelf processors are used to perform operations such as fastudFourier transforms and other numerically intensive algorithms. The data is passed to the processors, andudresults collected, using conventional network interfaces such as TCP/IP. This allows the processors to beudlocated at any location, and also allows potentially large caches of processors to be shared between multipleudapplications.
