    Abstract: A signal processing system includes a central processing unit (CPU) in communication with an accelerator, and an instruction scheduler in communication with the accelerator. A first memory device including a first instruction set is configured to operate the accelerator, a second instruction set is configured to operate the CPU, and a second memory device is configured to receive a datafile. The accelerator includes a plurality of processing engines (PEs) and an instruction scheduler, the instruction set includes a plurality of operators, and the instruction scheduler is configured to implement the operators in the accelerator employing the PEs. The CPU employs the operators implemented in the accelerator to analyze the datafile to extract a feature therefrom.

    Abstract: The vehicle mounted perception sensor gathers environment perception data from a scene using first and second heterogeneous (different modality) sensors, at least one of the heterogeneous sensors is directable to a predetermined region of interest. A perception processor receives the environment perception data and performs object recognition to identify objects each with a computed confidence score. The processor assesses the confidence score vis-à-vis a predetermined threshold, and based on that assessment, generates an attention signal to redirect the one of the heterogeneous sensors to a region of interest identified by the other heterogeneous sensor. In this way information from one sensor primes the other sensor to increase accuracy and provide deeper knowledge about the scene and thus do a better job of object tracking in vehicular applications.

    Abstract: A method in a multiprocessor system for processing multiple perception streams is disclosed. The method comprises: reading data from a plurality of perception streams according to a reading schedule determined by a predetermined policy, each perception stream comprising perception data from a different perception sensor; assigning a unique identification tag to each perception stream; writing each perception stream with its unique identification tag to a server input queue based on the predetermined policy; and processing the tagged perception streams using a server. The processing includes: retrieving tagged perception streams from the server input queue; applying a processing algorithm to process the retrieved tagged perception streams; and outputting the processed perception streams to a server output queue. The method further includes retrieving the processed perception streams from the server output queue and dispatching each retrieved processed perception stream to an appropriate post-processing destination based on the tag associated with the retrieved processed perception stream.
