Intelligence Processor Performance Analysis (IPPA)

Abstract : This report has documented the functional design that was developed for an AN/GYQ-21(V) hardware monitor. The report provides a concept of monitoring to place the development of the hybrid monitor in its proper perspective. The report defines the measurement set the monitor will measure. The functional design includes both the software and hardware components with the rationale for their use to be able to monitor the measurement set selected. The software specifications include tasks such as coordination between the host processor and monitor, measurements, and measurement reporting. Foremost in the designer's mind has been the ease of user interface with the monitor. The hardware/specifications include such areas as packaging, power requirements, EMI/RFI emissions, Qualifier Logic, and special modules. The report includes a theory of operations that references the design and specifications and provides an insight into functional breakout by measurement requirements. (Author)
