Abstract
At Sanders, we are developing an integrated algorithm analysis and mapping environment particularly tailored for signal processing applications on Adaptive Computing Systems (ACS). Our environment allows a designer to map signal processing algorithms to an ACS faster, by an order of magnitude, than is currently possible. Our approach has been to focus on three areas of capability critical to the success of adaptive computing and to integrate these capabilities into an open, extensible software framework. The development of the three areas, algorithm analysis, algorithm mapping, and smart generators, are taking advantage of the special characteristics of signal processing algorithms to reduce the time to field the ACS. This paper discusses the capabilities developed and two application examples.
