Ptolemy

The ambitious objectives of the Ptolemy project include most aspects of designing signal processing and communications systems, ranging from designing and simulating algorithms to synthesizing hardware and software, parallelizing algorithms, and prototyping real-time systems. Ptolemy has been used for a broad range of applications including signal processing, telecommunications, parallel processing, wireless communications, network design, radio astronomy, real time systems, and hardware/software co-design. Ptolemy has also been used as a laboratory for signal processing and communications courses. Currently Ptolemy has hundreds of users in hundreds of sites, in industry, academia, and government.
