SHARC and partitionned convolution filter

Question

I'm performing partitioned convolution filtering using 12 ARM Cortex-M7 processors (IMXRT1062). The convolution code functions properly, but I'm encountering synchronization and memory issues. 
 
 Recently, I came across the SHARC family of processors, and they seem intriguing. Hence, I'm wondering if a single SHARC Audio Module could be powerful enough to replace all 12 of my Cortex-M7 processors?

What is your target time for 12800 points convolutions? Did you mean 12 M7 would process 12 * 12800 point convolutions? Is it a parallel processing or serial processing? SHARC SC589 FFT accelerator is better than the SHARC core on the FFT compute. It supports 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 points in small FFT mode and 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536,131072, 262144, 524288, 1048576, 2097152, 4194304 points in large FFT mode. SHARC core has two processing units (ALU and MAC) which allow users to double processing capability.)
