Prototyping DSP Algorithms On Real-World Signals Using Matlab

This document discusses prototyping digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms in real-time using MATLAB. It begins with an introduction to the speaker, Gabriele Bunkheila, a product manager at MathWorks. It then discusses how prototyping has become more important and how technologies have evolved to make it easier. The rest of the document outlines various aspects of real-time DSP prototyping using MATLAB, including streaming signals from hardware, writing custom code, selecting efficient existing functions, and deploying algorithms beyond MATLAB to plugins, executables and other platforms like Raspberry Pi.

The Speaker
Gabriele Bunkheila Product Manager, DSP and Audio

Gabriele is a senior product manager at


MathWorks, where he coordinates the strategy of
MATLAB toolboxes for audio and DSP. After
joining MathWorks in 2008, he worked as a
signal processing application engineer for
several years, supporting MATLAB and Simulink
users across industries from algorithm design to
real-time implementations. Before MathWorks,
he held a number of research and development
positions related to signal processing. He has a
ast ’s d g phys s a d a h
communications engineering.

From algorithm to prototype – How?

3
Things have changed since

▪ Importance of prototypes has grown

▪ Technologies and tools have evolved

▪ More researchers and engineers can afford to create demos

▪ Still time-consuming and labor-intensive for many

Agenda – Real-Time DSP Prototyping + MATLAB

▪ Streaming signals from and to hardware interfaces

▪ Writing your own code

▪ Selecting the correct existing functions

▪ Beyond MATLAB – VST audio plugins,


standalone .exe, Raspberry Pi, and more

11
Anatomy of basic real-time audio streaming

▪ Simple while or for loop


(N samples per frame)

▪ Enabled by:
– Audio I/O wrappers designed for streaming
(optimized code with object interface)

– Efficient DSP code executed in the loop

Beyond audio and sound cards
Software Defined Radio (SDR) TX/RX

▪ Beyond MATLAB – VST audio plugins,


standalone .exe, Raspberry Pi, and more

14
Packaging audio DSP algorithms for real-time

Objects provide solutions


▪ Accessible parameters exposed as properties
▪ Parameter-led computations only triggered
when parameters changed or initialized
▪ Pre-computed internal values and states
are remembered
▪ Extra-lean runtime code
▪ Consistent signature for in and out

16
What can make a function or object more efficient than others?

▪ Separation between one-time and run-time computations


(e.g. using a recommended object structure)

▪ Better implementation algorithm for the task in hand


(e.g. time vs. frequency domain)

▪ Efficient implementation under the Hood


e.g. using a mix of:
– Hand-optimized C++
– High-performance threaded technologies (e.g. SIMD, IPP, TBB)
– High-performance libraries (e.g. BLAS, FFTW)
– ...

AES Student Competition: MATLAB Plugin

▪ What is it?
– A competition co-organized by MathWorks
and the Audio Engineering Society
– Showcase and awards at the
Conventions of the AES
– Prizes of up to $1500 (in 2020)

▪ How to enter
– Write MATLAB code that generates a VST audio plugin
and put in on MATLAB Central
– Create a short video that describes your project and upload it to YouTube

21
Deploying DSP algorithm or whole program?

while(1)
% Read from HW
x = inReader();

% Your DSP algorithm


C/C++ y = myDSPalgo(x);

% Write to HW
outWriter(y);
end

22
Conclusions

▪ Real-time prototyping has become much


easier than you may expect

▪ Choosing the right programming techniques


and resources can make a big difference
