Parallel Computing for Real-time Signal Processing and Control

Although the computing demands of real-time signal processing and control applications are increasing rapidly, parallel processors permit several instructions to be dealt with simultaneously so that the "real-time" needed is manageable.This book introduces the advantages of this strategy and details how to use parallel processing to deal with common signal processing and control algorithms.It emphasises the relationship between the computing requirements of algorithms and the appropriate choice of architectures, while demonstrating how to identify processor capabilities and how to exploit them to the fulleSt.

The text includes examples and end-of-chapter exercises to facilitate self- and group study and case studies to put theoretical concepts into a practical context.For advanced students in parallel computing, control and signal processing disciplines, it is an invaluable tool in learning to get the most from their computer systems.
