MIT and the Birth of Digital Signal Processing

In the late 1950s, the first transistorized digital computers were manufactured. As a result, the decade of the 1960s saw the conversion of the oil exploration industry from analog filtering to digital signal processing. Digital signal processing and deconvolution made it possible to explore successfully in all areas of the Earth including the areas under the seas. Deconvolution requires massive parallel processing. The computer industry accommodated and developed special-purpose digital si...
