Signal Data Processor (SDP)

The SRC Signal Data Processor (SDP) is based on the SRC-6 line of reconfigurable MAP® processors. The SDP is available with either air or liquid based cooling systems and can contain a mix of up to 10 MAP processors and shared Common Memory modules along with a dual-socket commodity motherboard. The peak single precision floating point performance of a 10 MAP system is 240 GFlops.

 

Air-Cooled SDP Liquid-Cooled SDP

 

This general purpose computer system is well suited to applications such as: 

  • Real-time Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) processing
  • Real-time image processing

 

Features & Benefits

  • Significant volume, weight and power savings through the use of a single MAP processor and an IA microprocessor DEL/DLD combination to replace dozens of microprocessors.
  • Powerful processing in two cooling variants:
    • Air-cooled SDP – a 19” rack-mountable air-cooled variant that uses standard front to back ambient air flow; ideal for use in pressurized aircraft or laboratory environments. 
    • Liquid-cooled SDP – a sealed chassis that utilizes a combination of localized liquid cold plates and a recirculated air loop which are both connected to an external liquid-to-air heat exchanger; intended for use in high altitude unpressurized environments.
  • Can be used in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV), traditional military aircraft, helicopter, or ground-based applications. 
  • Utilizing Carte software tools, the Signal Data Processors are compatible with all other SRC products.

Portable MAPstation

SRC’s Portable MAPstation is a miniaturized computer system based on the IMPLICIT+EXPLICIT Architecture and reconfigurable MAP® processor and is software compatible with all other SRC products.

 

The Series F Compact MAP used in this system has demonstrated a 36x speedup on the DARPA backhoe synthetic aperture radar backprojection benchmark as compared to a 2.8 GHz Xeon microprocessor. The portable MAPstation also internally accommodates GPIOX cards such as SRC’s ADCXA dual 2 Gsample/s 10 bit A/D convertor with on-board clock.

 

Standard Enclosure
(weighs less than 8 lbs. with battery)
Lightweight Enclosure
(weighs less than 4 lbs.)

 

Typical applications for SRC’s Portable MAPstations include:

  • Real-time SAR image processing
  • Real-time HDTV image processing
  • Real-time target recognition by forward air observers
  • Real-time biometric recognition by security personnel
  • General-purpose high performance computation

 

Features & Benefits

  • Powerful MAP processing in two small form-factors for real-time, compute-intensive processing:
    • Standard Enclosure – 9.6 Gbytes per second of direct sensor I/O bandwidth in a single processor and weighs less than 8 pounds with battery
    • Lightweight Enclosure – offers the same levels of performance in a package weighing less than 4 pounds.
  • Can be used in mobile or ground-based applications. The standard enclosure form factor can also be hand-carried.
  • Utilizing Carte software tools, Portable MAPstations are compatible with all other SRC products.
