Automated programming of digital filters for parallel processing implementation

Abstract

A computer algorithm is described that automatically writes optimal programs for the implementation of arbitrary digital filter structures on parallel processors. The algorithm has been adapted particularly for programming a DSP chip with multiple processors arranged in a ring-type topology. The algorithm starts from a netlist describing a desired digital filter structure. The algorithm's output is a set of programs for the parallel processors which causes them to implement the given digital filter.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
