E-cast: Creating High Performance Radar Applications with the Cell Broadband Engine

Summary: The Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) is an extremely high-performance signal processing chip currently under evaluation for multi-function radars, including detection, tracking, jamming, NCTR, raid assessment, missile data linking, mapping and communications. The key issue in parallel processing and fast context switching is the ability to combine extremely powerful hardware with efficient auto-code software (GEDAE).
