Abstract
Algorithms based on multiple filters and data association are commonly applied in radar systems to track maneuvering targets in clutter. These algorithms when used in typical conditions can be very computing intensive and may not respond in real time. High performance computing, parallel computers built around fast microprocessors, enables more complex algorithms to be used and still track the targets in real time. This work evaluates the performance of such algorithms on commercially available parallel computers.
