Abstract
Asynchronous data samples are received from a plurality of data channels for distribution onto a plurality of data processors each having a plurality of processing-slots. The identity of a channel from which a sample is received is determined using a channel ID associated with the sample. A time-stamp is assigned to at least one sample from each respective channel. Finally, at least one time-stamped sample is assigned to a processing-slot such that the separation between the time-stamp and a nearest time-stamp of at least one sample assigned to at least one other processing-slot of each respective processor is maximized.
