How to allow fast network processing unit (NPU) performance testing in supporting fast data path functions in a router is a challenging issue. It is more so in a router design phase when there are a vast number of design choices to be tested and the microcode for the fast data path functions is yet to be developed. In this paper, a novel NPU worst-case performance analysis methodology is develo...

This paper presents a procedure for the analysis of acousmatic music which was derived from the synthesis of top-down (knowledge driven) and bottom-up (datadriven) cognitive psychological views. The procedure is also a synthesis of research on primitive auditory scene analysis, combined with the research on acoustic, semantic, and syntactic factors in the perception of everyday environmental so...
