A solar image processing system required by one of BittWare's customers had many challenges. The processing requirements - adaptive image processing using multi-channel correlation - necessitated a very large multi-processor system with a tremendous amount of I/O bandwidth, thus requiring a large amount of integration work, as well as efficient system cooling.
BittWare’s solution included ten DSP-based boards supplying 80 DSPs, and a custom chassis was designed to ensure that the multi-processor system was cooled efficiently.
BittWare’s decades-long expertise in digital signal processing design was integral to creating an eighty-DSP system that functioned with no issues, and was also cooled properly. Although the hardware used was COTS hardware, significant application-specific design work was needed to ultimately provide the final system to our customer. |
