Abstract :
The development of a semiconductor memory interface for the DCRSi, a high-speed VisiNET interface to the NUMERIX array processor, and the software needed for implementation in a host environment are discussed. The capabilities of the Ampex DCRSi digital tape system are described. It is concluded that recent technological breakthroughs in high-density digital recorder design permit its use in a practical SIP (signal and image processing) system. Such a system can address applications involving vast amounts of data in a cost-effective and efficient manner. It can allow the user to acquire, process, store, display, and transfer data between these processes at a very high rate, in a high-level software environment
