High-performance synthetic aperture radar image formation on commodity multicore architectures (Proceedings Paper)

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image processing platforms have to process increasingly large datasets under and hard real-time deadlines. Upgrading these platforms is expensive. An attractive solution to this problem is to couple high performance, general-purpose Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) architectures such as IBM's Cell BE and Intel's Core with software implementations of SAR algorithms. While this approach provides great flexibility, achieving the requisite performance is difficult and time-cons
