Performance Evaluation of Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Architectures in Real-Time Signal Processing and Control

Abstract This paper presents an investigation into the real-time performance evaluation of parallel architectures in signal processing and control applications. Several complex and demanding signal processing and control algorithms with various computational requirements are considered to explore hardware and software resources and the capabilities of the architectures. The algorithms are implemented on a number of heterogeneous and homogeneous architectures incorporating high performance processors. Finally, a comparison of the results of implementations is made to establish merits of design and development of parallel architectures for real-time signal processing and control applications.
