The AR-10 family of signal processors

The AR-10 family of Signal Processors developed by Stein Associates is the culmination of over two years of intensive R&D. The processors range from a small single computing element to a large three-section multiprocessor. Among the AR-10 processor unique features are: 1) the AR/BUS, permitting large blocks of data to flow through the AR-10, never slowing down the processing rate; 2) two "styles" of processing modules, one optimized for block processing, one optimized for sample-by-sample processing; mix and match to fit the application; and 3) user programmability; hardware and software features combine to make the AR-10 no more difficult or mysterious to code than a typical minicomputer.
