The Adaptive Multiprocessing System (AMPS)

Part of Grumman's approach to meeting the avionics objectives of the next century is to develop the Adaptive Multiprocessing System (AMPS) in concert with their partner, Computing Devices International (CDI). The AMPS is a smart, heterogeneous, super-efficient, open signal processing architecture supported by a graphical signal flowgraph software development system. The unique AMPS architecture is a high-performance, modular, super chip (up to 37 per node) parallel processor designed for computationally intensive real-time military and commercial applications. The AMPS is designed around commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) digital signal processing components and features a simultaneous combination of discriminating performance attributes.<
