چکیده
We present a special-purpose computer architecture for the qualitative simulator QSim, which is mainly used in artiicial intelligence (AI) applications. This architecture consists of DSPs TMS320C40 and specialized coprocessors (Xilinx FPGAs). We stress the distinct algorithm characteristic of qualitative simulation compared to DSP applications. We also demonstrate the suitability of the DSP TMS320C40 for this non{DSP application.

متن کاملSimultaneous Multithreaded DSPs: Scaling from High Performance to Low Power
In the DSP world, many media workloads have to perform a specific amount of work in a specific period of time. This observation led us to examine how we can exploit Simultaneous Multithreading for VLIW DSP architectures to: 1) increase throughput in situations where performance is the most important attribute (e.g., base station workloads) and 2) decrease power consumption in situations where p...
متن کامل2 High Speed DSP Implemented in Run - time Partially
This thesis investigates the feasibility of utilizing a run-time partially reconfigurable FPGA to implement a sequence of high-speed digital signal processing filters. Rather than reconfiguring the entire device to modify part of a configuration, a modular architecture is designed to allow smaller segments of the device to be individually reconfigured while the remainder of the device continues...
