It's from FASTec uSupercomputers, and it's their 15 mflop board. The question is, what do I do with it now? They've provided some code for it (in assembler and Basic, of all things!), but mostly, I'm on my own to develop some sort of use for it. Is there a Forth for the board, or at least for the chip? The interface is via a loader program (ala the Definicon coprocessor boards) or by a library of Fortran-callable subroutines. And, FWIW, it was only $425! ------------ ----- This message came from GEnie via willett through a semi-automated program. Report problems to: 'uunet!willett!dwp' or 'willett!dwp@gateway.sei.cmu.edu'

Our applications are rooted in spectroscopy and, perhaps, image processing. We typically need to do smoothing, centroiding, etc., on the spectra to help identify features, and lots of the standard image manipulations with images. My coprocessor experience has been with the Definicon DSI-20 series of boards, which have all sorts of utilities, but basically run as standalone processors. I'm more interested in using the DSP board by calling it from a program running on the PC, and passing it data to chew on. The programs might be written in Forth, C, Fortran, maybe even a system like Matlab. So far, all I got from the vendor was an MS Fortran linkable library - no code, no interface dox. I can see I've still got some legwork to do. --- ~ EZ-Reader 1.21 ~ Dreams of reason bring FORTH monsters ----- This message came from GEnie via willett through a semi-automated program.
