Abstract

Once upon a time, the most difficult aspect of signal processing was acquiring enough data. Nowadays, one can sample at very high rates and collect huge data sets, but processing the data in a timely manner, without exceeding available memory, is challenging, despite continuing advances in computer technology. Meeting this challenge requires the full exploitation of mathematical structure to develop an algorithm that can be implemented efficiently in software.
