Interconnection alternatives for hierarchical monitoring communication in parallel SoCs
Interconnection architectures for hierarchical monitoring communication in parallel System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms are explored. Hierarchical agent monitoring design paradigm is an efficient and scalable approach for the design of parallel embedded ...
Design and measurement of a variable-rate Viterbi decoder in 130-nm digital CMOS
This paper discusses design and measurements of a flexible Viterbi decoder fabricated in 130-nm digital CMOS. Flexibility was incorporated by providing various code rates and modulation schemes to adjust to varying channel conditions. Based on previous ...
Parameterized MAC unit generation for a scalable embedded DSP core
This paper describes the architecture and hardware generation concept of a parameterized MAC unit for use in a scalable embedded DSP core. The MAC unit supports a broad set of instructions for integer and fractional datatypes. Its generation is ...
Search algorithms for the multiple constant multiplications problem: Exact and approximate
This article addresses the multiplication of one data sample with multiple constants using addition/subtraction and shift operations, i.e., the multiple constant multiplications (MCM) operation. In the last two decades, many efficient algorithms have ...
