Design and simulation of digital controllers using pipelined architecture

Some complex control algorithms require large volume of computations in a short time. Large and expensive computers are required to execute such tasks. Another alternative is to combine several low cost processors to replace the expensive computer. This thesis covers the design and simulation of digital controllers based on pipelined architecture. Two pipeline controller schemes are proposed. Their properties are investigated. Control algorithms suitable for each scheme are considered. The performance of those controllers is compared to both conventional serial controllers and parallel controllers. The linear quadratic regulator design are used as a basis for comparison
