Abstract :
The SPRINT system is a high-speed system designed to perform real-time signal processing which cannot be done on a single signal processing-chip. The advantages of using a ring network are given, and the major attributes of the system are highlighted. Attention is given to the system architecture and the basic system operation. The details of the hardware are included in the description of the system architecture. The software development environment shows how both the system software and application software is written. Finally, several digital filter examples demonstrate the usefulness of using such a ring network of signal-processing nodes.<>
