Soft digital signal processing

In this paper, we propose a framework for low-energy digital signal processing (DSP), where the supply voltage is scaled beyond the critical voltage imposed by the requirement to match the critical path delay to the throughput. This deliberate introduction of input-dependent errors leads to degradation in the algorithmic performance, which is compensated for via algorithmic noise-tolerance (ANT...

Soft constraint processing

This (not so) short text presents some results I’m aware of in the field of soft constraint network processing. Given the short format of the school, it does not try to give an exhaustive picture of the current state of the field (although many references have been included). It was simply not possible. After a short introduction with motivations, the first section gives some chosen examples of...

Solvothermal soft chemical synthesis and characterization of plate-like particles constructed from oriented BaTiO3 nanocrystals

Plate-like BaTiO3 particles with a size of about 200 nm in thickness and 3 μm in width were prepared by using a novel solvothermal soft chemical process in ethanol and water-ethanol mixed solvents. A layered titanate of H1.07Ti1.73O4 with a lepidocrocite-like structure and plate-like nanoparticle morphology was used as the precursor, and solvothermally treated in the Ba(OH)2 solution to prepare...

Information Processing in Soft–Output Decoding

Recent literature presents methods for the analysis of concatenated coding schemes by solely characterizing the behavior of the component codes [4, 12, 14, 9, 7]. Component codes are analyzed either analytically using unique properties of special component codes, e.g., single–parity–check code or accumulator, or via simulations. The goals of this paper are to find fundamental insights into conc...
