چکیده
2 of 41 Real-time Signal Processing on the Ultrasparc 1.0 Abstract With the convergence of audio, video, and the Internet, multimedia applications increasingly demand real-time processing from general purpose CPUs. Traditionally, computer architects have increased the performance of CPUs in incremental steps, increasing the number of cache levels, increasing the complexity of I/O controllers, increasing the length of the pipeline, increasing the number of instructions issued per cycle, and reducing the overall chip size. But the constraint of real-time processing is a hard problem, and computer architects must take a different approach to keep up. One approach is to support the signal processing functions that are common to these applications by introducing native signal processing (NSP) instructions into the microprocessor. In this report, I describe the architectural features of the UltraSparc processor and the signal processing functionality of the Visual Instruction Set (VIS). I also measure the performance of a number of realtime applications and signal processing kernels that use the Visual Instruction Set and discuss the implementation of the VIS code generation domain within the Ptolemy environment.

Real-time data-intensive systems such as sonar beamformers and synthetic aperture radar processors have traditionally required implementation in expensive custom hardware. Current systems use off-the-shelf programmable processors in customized configurations to reduce development cost. To reduce development cost and time further, we consider the use of workstations as the target architecture an...

متن کاملA Time-Frequency approach for EEG signal segmentation
The record of human brain neural activities, namely electroencephalogram (EEG), is generally known as a non-stationary and nonlinear signal. In many applications, it is useful to divide the EEGs into segments within which the signals can be considered stationary. Combination of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert transform, called Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT), is a new and powerful ...

We present the design and implementation of a high performance layered video codec, designed for deployment in bandwidth heterogeneous networks. The codec combines wavelet based subband decomposition and discrete cosine transforms to facilitate layered spatial and SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) coding for bit-rate adaption to a wide range of receiver capabilities. We show how a test video stream c...
