Parallel Synthetic Aperture Radar Processing on Workstation Networks

چکیده
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) signal processing poses a significant challenge due to its very large computation and data storage requirements. This paper presents the computational requirements of a typical high resolution satellite SAR data processing scenario. A classification of approaches to partitioning the SAR problem for parallel processing is given. The suitabilityof Networks of Workstations (NOW) for SAR processing is analyzed for a number of partitioning approaches. The network throughputs required to support SAR processing on NOW are derived. SAR processing is found to demand extremely high network throughput that is difficult to achieve with today’s technology.

A Framework for Real-Time High-Throughput Signal and Image Processing Systems on Workstations
Real-time data-intensive systems such as sonar beamformers and synthetic aperture radar processors have traditionally required implementation in expensive custom hardware. Current systems use off-the-shelf programmable processors in customized configurations to reduce development cost. To reduce development cost and time further, we consider the use of workstations as the target architecture an...
