Problem:
A manufacturer of communications and surveillance systems needed Bytes By Design's help in developing a network of signal processing, analysis and graphics subsystems for a large 400+ processor communications and surveillance system. Because the network we were charged with creating was so large and complex, there were a number of requirements that had to be met. The subsystems had to be easily scalable, distributed and have a flexible architecture.

Solution:
Taking this into consideration, we engineered a solution that incorporated GUI, DSP, and control software for the Windows and Unix-based workstations and embedded processors that made up this immense network. In addition, we created a real-time operating system and application code for the network of over 400 transputers that would comprise part of the system. We also developed numerous Windows and transputer network applications for a several-hundred-GByte memory system, a custom Spectrogram Graphics Card for the workstations, as well as an embedded 56000 DSP time-base error corrector.

Results:
The system we designed and engineered for this large network of Windows and Unix-based signal processing and analysis workstations has been successfully fielded and is performing efficiently and effectively.
