Simulation and performance evaluation of a parallel architecture for signal processing

The authors have developed a conceptual design for a multiprocessor system to implement multidimensional digital signal processing applications. Their approach is to develop an application specific computing system instead of a specific hardware solution. The application specific computing system can be used as a research tool for exploring new approaches to problems. In addition, it can be used to achieve high performance at reasonable costs since it can use commercially available processors. They present a performance evaluation of our system using the 2-D FIR filter as an example. They explain their approach to implementing the 2-D FIR filter by first reviewing their previous implementation of the 2-D IIR filter
