Latest blog / Turning Up the Heat: 10,000 GMTI Tracks on a Raspberry Pi
Our earlier blog article 2000 GMTI Tracks on a Raspberry Pi contained results from an initial benchmarking test of the Hawkstream tracker. Following some optimisation work, the tracker can now achieve 10,000 simultaneous GMTI tracks on a resource constrained platform. We use a Raspberry Pi 4 for testing since it is both convenient and reasonably representative of the compute power that may be available on widely deployed small systems. Sources of improvement The ability to achieve 10,000 tracks on a Pi, is primarily down to the design of a new algorithm which provides better scalability than those in wide use […]
