摘要

传统上，实现实时数据密集型声纳波束形成算法需要昂贵的定制硬件。本文结合Unix工作站的对称多处理技术、轻量级POSIX线程和计算的进程网络模型，在软件上开发了声纳波束形成器。我们发现一个4-GFLOP数字插值过程网络波束形成器可以在一个有16个UltraSPARC-II处理器运行在336 MHz的Sun工作站上实时运行。工作站波束形成器与同等硬件波束形成器相比，显著降低了成本和开发时间。

Real-time sonar beamforming on a Unix workstation using process networks and POSIX threads

Traditionally, expensive custom hardware has been required to implement data-intensive sonar beamforming algorithms in real-time. We develop a sonar beamformer in software by merging the following technologies: (1) symmetric multiprocessing on Unix workstations, (2) lightweight POSIX threads, and (3) the process network model of computation. We find that it is feasible for a 4-GFLOP digital interpolation process network beamformer to run in real-time on a Sun workstation with 16 UltraSPARC-II processors running at 336 MHz. The workstation beamformer significantly reduces cost and development time over an equivalent hardware beamformer.
