We present here three developments for the Commuted Piano Synthesis model described more fully elswhere in these proceedings [3]: (1)a theoretical foundation and calibration scheme for the required linearized piano hammer system; (2) a simple algorithmic synthesis approach for the commuted soundboard impulse response, eliminating the need for any wave table memory; and (3) a calibration method ...

Mobile audio-enabled technology is a commodity by now. However access to these technologies for audio research, algorithmic synthesis and interactive performance is currently limited. We describe an effort to port the Synthesis Toolkit (STK) developed by Perry Cook and Gary Scavone to the Symbian operating system, which is used by a number of mobile phone manufacturers.

Herein, recent developments in the production and reactivity of distonic radical anions are reviewed. Known and potential reactions utilizing both the radical and anion centers are highlighted. While work has revealed new distonic radical anion species, limited effort has been to apply them to complex molecule synthesis. Through the development of new photoinduced electron transfer reagents, di...

In deep submicron era, wire delay is no longer negligible and is becoming a dominant factor of the system performance. To cope with the increasing wire delay, several state-of-the-art architectural synthesis flows have been proposed for the distributed register architectures by enabling on-chip multicycle communication. In this article, we present a new performance-driven criticality-aware synt...

The Princeton University Behavioral Synthesis System (PUBSS) is a high-level synthesis system targeted to control-dominated machines. PUBSS accepts a VHDL subset, in which the design can be described as multiple communicating processes plus registers, and generates a register-transfer implementation. This paper describes the compiler with emphasis on the automaton-based algorithms which allow e...

This work has attempted to exploit information sharing to improve the results of Adaptive Simulated Annealing 1] as an optimization algorithm of the high-level synthesis of testable data paths. We have used Messengers 3] as a coordination tool to run several parallel instances of the annealing algorithm on the same design with diierent probability arrays for the perturbations. When all these in...
