GOPS - A Digital Signal Processor for 50 MSPS Continuous Processing

The GOPS Matrix Processor is a special purpose, high speed vector processing machine, applicable to classical one-dimensional signal processing tasks such as transversal structure filtering, auto or cross correlations, adaptive equalizers, line enhancers or cancellers, etc. Each input array can be either limited, or infinite length with a limited burst of answers after a trigger pulse, the number of answers being a function of the number of taps in the machine. Since the heart of the machine is purely digital, the system inputs and outputs may be either analog (via converters) or digital. The arithmetic unit cards are configured so that there is great flexibility in the system architecture to accomodate very high bandwidth (up to 50 MHz analog bandwidth) as well as large matrix size.
