Parallel implementation of an adaptive generalized predictive control algorithm

The Adaptive Generalized Predictive Control (AGPC) algorithm can be speeded up using parallel processing. Since the AGPC algorithm needs to be fed with the knowledge of the plant transfer function, the parallelization of a standard Recursive Least Squares (RLS) estimator and a GPC predictor is discussed here.

A spectral estimator using parallel-processing for use in a doppler blood-flow instrument

The work described here is part of a research program aiming to increase the sensitivity to disease detection using Doppler ultrasound by reducing the effects to the measurement procedure on the estimation of blood velocity and detection of flow disturbance.
