Abstract

The computations involved in Kalman filter 
algorithms are highly structured with regular matrix-type 
operations. Moreover, Kalman filter algorithms can be 
specified as a set of parallel passes rearranged to be the type of 
the 
Fadeev algorithms for generalizing matrix/vector 
manipulations. Based on that, and in order to further improve 
the speed of updating the state estimate of Kalman filter 
equations and taking full advantage of the two parallel pipeline 
structures, a new combined SIMD/MISD (Single Instructions 
Multiple Data stream/ Multiple Instructions Single Data 
stream) Transputer implementation scheme is presented. This 
configuration has expanded the utilization of the two
dimensional systolic architecture and significantly improved 
the speed of updating the state estimate and resulted in a 
significant saving in processing time complexity compared to 
SIMD transputer implementation
