Multi-sensor integration on the NCUBE hypercube computer

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5180928

This paper presents the quantitative performance results obtained from converting a large sequential Multi-Sensor Integration (MSI) program into aconcurrent form, and executing the program on an NCUBE hypercube computer for several test case scenarios. Each sensor track was assigned to a different node of the hypercube where computationally intensive calculations were performed. A 4-mode hypercube was found to be the optimal size for the test case scenario discussed here, where speed-up factors of 1.5 to 1.7 were obtained. A completely concurrent MSI algorithm is also presented. 1 ref., 9 figs.
