Combining DSPs and FPGAs in next-generation multimode wireless handset designs
Multimode RF is currently incorporated in a number of advanced handsets, either in the commercial or public safety/military worlds. Because many of these handsets must support advanced, complex, evolving, and/or emerging protocols, the need for a powerful, reprogrammable part such as an FPGA arises. Use of FPGAs in low-power handsets design is becoming more and more possible thanks to the benefits of shrinking silicon geometries. This article ...

CORBA for FPGAs: Tying together GPPS, DSPs, and FPGAs
As signal processing systems become larger and more complex, system builders are running into a performance wall. In order to achieve the desired performance requirements of these extensive systems, modern signal processing systems often combine Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), General Purpose Processors (GPPs) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). To facilitate development of such multi-processor systems, designers can now use a distr...

FPGA versus DSP design reliability and maintenance
In many complex electronic products, the initial choice of a processing engine and its associated design methodology can have a profound impact on the end product reliability. This choice will also have a large affect on the effort required to maintain the product throughout its life cycle.

Multicomputer software development systems come of age
It was not so long ago that the typical DSP development package was a set of optimized libraries, plus a port to the industry standard Vector Signal Image Processing Library (VSIPL) and a driver for an RTOS. While these are still essential elements for algorithm development, the platforms that host DSP applications have become much more complex, offering FPGA front ends and multicompute engines for DSP and general purpose processors for back-e...

FPGA vs. DSP Design Reliability and Maintenance
Digital signal processing (DSP) underpins modern wireless and wireline communications, medical diagnostic equipment, military systems, audio and video equipment, and countless other products, becoming increasingly common in consumers' lives. Due to advances in semiconductor technology, ever more complex DSP algorithms, protocols, and applications are now feasible, which, in turn, increase the complexity of the systems and products....

Multi-Core DSP Enables Advanced Target Discrimination and Tracking
Video surveillance must automatically detect targets and suspicious behaviors in order to effectively monitor large networks of cameras. Single processor designs have limited previous attempts at video content analysis and computer vision. We present a cost-effective multi-core approach that utilizes 16 DSP and 8 RISC processors on one chip, working in parallel to analyze video feeds for use in smart network cameras.
