I'm trying to work on a small visualization application. Using this library along with Madgwick AHRS, I was able to get my Arduino Uno sketch to output it's orientation on the serial communication line (e.g. Yaw, Pitch, Roll in degrees). On my PC, I have a python script setup to rotate a 3D model to match that orientation.

While I was initially successful, there was an unfortunate amount of drift, so say every second the computed orientation would drift about 5 seconds. This isn't acceptable.

I'd really like to use the DMP on the chip. I read the docs and it looks like there are features such as doing the sensor fusion for me, as well as calibrating the chip (in hopes of preventing drift). When I tried to enable the DMP in my Arduino Uno Sketch code, it said that there wasn't enough space on the chip.

Does the DMP require a more powerful micro controller than that of the Arduino Uno?
