Real-time wavefront processors for the next generation of adaptive optics systems: a design and analysis

TL;DR: This paper characterizes the performance of a single deformable mirror (DM) Shack-Hartmann natural guide star AO system implemented on the present-generation digital signal processor (DSP) TMS320C6701 from Texas Instruments and demonstrates that the principal performance bottleneck of such a system is the available memory bandwidth of the processors and to lesser extent the IPC bandwidth.
