신호처리 시스템에서 FFT는 많이 사용되고 있으며, 고속화를 위하여 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. FFT은 통신, 영상처리, 레이더 등 많은 영역에서 직접 또는 변형되어 많이 활용되고 있으나 실시간 처리 속도 한계와 가격의 문제로 FFT 길이가 제한되는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 TI사의 고속 DSP인 8 core의 TMS320C6678에 OpenMP 병렬처리 기법으로 FFT를 구현한 결과를 제시한다. 속도 개선을 위한 다양한 병렬처리 방안에 대하여 단일 FFT의 길이별 성능과 다중 FFT를 처리하기 위한 방안을 제안하였다. 이러한 OpenMP기반의 FFT는 DSP간 hyperlink 연결로 다수의 DSP로 병렬처리로 성능 개선이 가능하며, 본 연구에서는 16 core로 확장하여 그 성능이 30% 내외 개선되는 것을 보였다. 본 연구 결과는 초 고속 신호처리가 요구되는 의료영상, 초고해상도 영상처리, 고정밀 레이더 등에 활용이 가능할 것이다.

This paper presents the real-time implementation of an AMR (Adaptive Multi Rate) vocoder which is included in the asynchronous International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT)-2000 mobile ASIC. The implemented AMR vocoder is a multi-rate coder with 8 modes operating at bit rates from 12.2kbps down to 4.75kbps. Not only the encoder and the decoder as basic functions of the vocoder are implemented, but VAD (Voice Activity Detection), SCR (Source Controlled Rate) operation and frame structuring blocks for the system interface are also implemented in this vocoder. The DSP for AMR vocoder implementation is a 16bit fixed-point DSP which is based on the TeakLite core and consists of memory block, serial interface block, register files for the parallel interface with CPU, and interrupt control logic. Through the implementation, we reduce the maximum operating complexity to 24MIPS by efficiently managing the memory structure. The AMR vocoder is verified throughout all the test vectors provided by 3GPP, and stable operation in the real-time testing board is also proved.

This paper presents a SDR-based Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) decoder using a multicore Digital Signal Processor (DSP). For decoder implementation, multicore DSP TMS320C6670 is used, which provides various hardware accelerators such as turbo decoder, fast Fourier transformer and Bit Rate Coprocessors. The TMS320C6670 is a DSP specialized in implementing base station platforms and is not an optimized platform for implementing mobile terminal platform. Accordingly, in this paper, the hardware accelerator was changed to the terminal implementation to implement the LTE-A PDSCH decoder supporting the multi-antenna and the functions not provided by the hardware accelerator were implemented through core programming. Also pipeline using multicore was implemented to meet the transmission time interval. To confirm the feasibility of the proposed implementation, we verified the real-time decoding capability of the PDSCH decoder implemented using the LTE-A Reference Measurement Channel (RMC) waveform about transmission mode 2 and 3.

Recently, as mobile multimedia devices are used more and more, the needs for high-performance and low-energy multimedia processors are increasing. Application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) can meet the needed high performance for mobile multimedia, but they provide limited, if any, generality needed for various application requirements. DSP based systems can used for various types of applications due to their generality, but they require higher cost and energy consumption as well as less performance than ASICs. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) based many-core processor which supports high-performance and low-power image data processing while keeping generality. The proposed SIMD based many-core processor composed of 16 processing elements (PEs) exploits large data parallelism inherent in image data processing. Experimental results indicate that the proposed SIMD-based many-core processor higher performance (22 times better), energy efficiency (7 times better), and area efficiency (3 times better) than conversional commercial high-performance processors.

In the past, a patient went to the room where an ultrasound image diagnosis device was set, and then he or she was examined by a doctor. However, currently a doctor can go and examine the patient with a handheld ultrasound device who stays in a room. However, it was implemented with only fundamental functions, and can not meet the high performance required by the focusing algorithm of ultrasound beam which determines the quality of ultrasound image. In addition, low energy consumption was satisfied for the mobile ultrasound device. To satisfy these requirements, this paper proposes a high-performance and low-power single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) based multi-core processor that supports a representative beamforming algorithm out of several focusing methods of mobile ultrasound image signals. The proposed SIMD multi-core processor, which consists of 16 processing elements (PEs), satisfies the high-performance required by the beamforming algorithm by exploiting considerable data-level parallelism inherent in the echo image data of ultrasound. Experimental results showed that the proposed multi-core processor outperforms a commercial high-performance processor, TI DSP C6416, in terms of execution time (15.8 times better), energy efficiency (6.9 times better), and area efficiency (10 times better).

In this paper, a modular platform for wearable devices is proposed which can be easily assembled by exchanging functions according to various field and environment conditions. The proposed modular platform consists of a 32-bit RISC CPU, a 32-bit symmetric multi-core processor, and a 16-bit DSP. It also includes a plug & play features which can quickly respond to various environments. The sensing and communication modules are connected in the form of a chain. This work is implemented in a standard 130 nm CMOS technology and the proposed modular wearable platforms are verified with temperature and humidity sensors.

This paper discusses the programming model of SODA-II that is a baseband processor for software defined radio (SDR) systems. Signal processing On-Demand Architecture Ⅱ (SODA-II) is an on-chip multiprocessor architecture consisting of four processor cores and each core has both an wide SIMD datapath and a scalar datapath. This architecture is appropriate for baseband processing that is a mixture of vector computations and scalar computations. The programming model of the SODA-II is based on C library routines. Because the library routines hide the details of complex SIMD datapath control procedures, end users can easily program the SODA-II without deep understanding on its architecture. In this paper, we discuss the details of library routines and how these routines are exploited in the implementation of baseband signal processing algorithms. As application examples, we show the implementation result of W-CDMA multipath searcher and OFDM demodulator on the SODA-II.
