RASSP: Changing the Paradigm of Electronic-System Design

RASSP, a four-year US Department of Defense program, aims to reduce the cost and development time for military embedded digital signal processors by a factor of four. At the same time, RASSP will decrease signal processor life cycle costs by at least four times. This article summarizes the programʹs technical approach and provides measures, using real systems development examples, of progress made in the projectʹs first two years
