Abstract:
1. A method of extracting coherent correlation data from a collection while continuing to accumulate new coherent correlation data to the collection without interruption, the method comprising: starting accumulation of a first plurality of coherent data in a first collection; starting accumulation of a second plurality of coherent data in a second collection after a first time period, where the first time period is long enough to permit access to all of the first plurality of coherent data from the first collection; waiting until the accumulation of the first plurality of coherent data has been completed; reading the first plurality of coherent data from the first collection while accumulating a third plurality of coherent data in the first collection, where the elements of the first collection are cleared as the elements are read to allow the first collection to accumulate the third plurality of coherent data; waiting until the accumulation of the second coherent data has been completed; and reading a first element from the second plurality of coherent data.
