System Level Applications of Adaptive Computing (SLAAC)

Abstract : SLAAC assembled a multidisciplinary team with expertise in signal processing, design tools and adaptive architectures to develop distributed adaptive computing systems (ACS) and methodologies for Defense processing. SLAAC was organized around challenge applications that collectively guided the research, including: Synthetic Aperture Radar/Automatic Target Recognition (SAR/ATR), SONAR Beamforming, Wide-Band RF Receiver Processing Hyperspectral Image Processing, Electronic Counter Measures (ECM), and Infrared ATR. The challenges were selected to stress ACS systems in dimensions of computational density, memory bandwidth and latency, I/O bandwidth, and scalability. SLAAC had technology transitions in SAR, SONAR and ECM.
