Multicomputer software development systems come of age
Modern platforms hosting DSP apps are more complex, providing FPGA front ends and multicompute engines for DSP, along with general purpose processors to execute back-end interfacing to data processing systems and displays. At the same time, the tools needed to model, program, debug, and visualize these systems have grown in complexity, and now support a wide variety of hardware configurations and architectures.

FPGAs impact on next generation sensor digital signal processing
Sensors of all types are the eyes, ears, nose, and antennae of the military commander whether they are integrated into a main battle tank, a submarine, a helicopter, or a tactical aircraft. Sensors can be active (laser range-finder, radar, and sonar), ...
