Abstract :
The Systolic Cellular Array Processor (SCAP) is an extremely high speed simultaneous instruction, multiple data (SIMD) processor optimized for airborne sensor processing. The SCAP surpasses most other parallel processors in throughput density (MFLOPS/cubic cm-Watt) and low latency. Paper describes the hardware architecture of the SCAP and discusses the mapping of a Multiple Hypothesis Tracking algorithm onto the architecture
