Computing frontiers in nonlinear filtering

Abstract

Computer realizations for the optimal nonlinear phase estimator are discussed, with emphasis on parallel computer architectures. Implementation of the nonlinear filter on various computer architectures, including the CDC6600/ 7600, CDC STAR-100, Illiac IV, the CRAY-1, and the Floating Point Systems AP120B is reviewed. Implications concerning the ideal computer architecture for nonlinear filter realization are discussed.
