BEAM : an accelerator for speech recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
BEAM is a hardware accelerator that has been designed and built for real-time execution of the SPHINX speaker-independent, continuous speech recognition system and similar systems. SPHINX on BEAM is able to recognize sentences from a 1,000 word vocabulary and a perplexity 60 grammar in about 1.3 times real time. BEAM does not use any custom integrated circuit. This report describes the architecture of the accelerator, gives performance data and compares BEAM to other architectures.

Medium-Term Stability of the Photon Beam Energy of An Elekta CompactTM Linear Accelerator Based on Daily Measurements of Beam Quality Factor
Introduction In this study, we aimed to assess the medium-term energy stability of a 6MV Elekta CompactTM linear accelerator. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published article to evaluate this linear accelerator in terms of energy stability. As well as investigating the stability of the linear accelerator energy over a period of several weeks, the results will be useful for esti...
متن کاملShielding simulations for safe use of curtain electron accelerator by MCNP4C
In an electron curtain accelerator, when the electron beam passes through the titanium exit window of the accelerator chamber, X-ray photons are produced as a negative by-product of retarding accelerated electrons. Controlling the produced X-ray photons to avoid their detrimental effects or in fact, proper shielding of the accelerator is an important issue that has to be considered in the use o...

In this paper design and simulation of an optimized accelerator tube is presented for the production of light charged particles up to energy of 2 MeV. Geometry of the accelerator tube electrodes was simulated based on the Van De Graaff accelerator tubes of Atomic Energy Organization by SIMION 7.0, Virtual Device and SIMION Toolkit codes. In accelerator tube, the extracted ion beam from the ion ...
متن کاملThe PLUS Accelerator
Our plan is to demonstrate a workstation accelerator (called PLUS) that not only executes the current speech recognition systems in real time, but that will also support the increasing computational demands of speech recognition systems in the next several years. The accelerator will also be useful for other compute-bound applications. The accelerator will be replicated and made available to ot...
