Efficient implementation of one and two dimensional digital signal processing algorithms on a multi-processor architecture

This paper describes the features of a multimicroprocessor architecture for digital signal processing. The use of a multiport optical memory as a design component, along with the synchronous operation of the processors, allows particularly efficient implementation for one and two dimensional finite impulse response and infinite impulse response filters. This paper also describes an approach to the automatic generation of efficient code for the multi-microprocessor architecture being implemented for a class of linear DSP algorithms.
