A method of deinterleaving parameter descriptor word (PDW) data includes parallel scoring of pulses in an a posteriori search for associating of pulses based on proximity within a multi-parameter problem space. The a posteriori search includes scoring an oldest pulse against all newer pulses, and then scoring a next oldest pulse against all newer pulses. The associating utilizes at least one of a plurality of parallel computation modes, parallel tasks to operate on separate data fields, and multi-threading or multitasking that can implement one of parallel and configuration-overlaid operation, synchronized by events.
