In this paper, we introduce an implementation method of the CBS (Cycle Base Simulator), which describes the operation of a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) at a pipeline cycle level. The CBS is coded with C++, and is verified by comparing the results from the CBS and HDL simulation of the DSP with the various test vectors and application programs. The CBS shows the data about the internal registers, status flags, data bus, address bus, input and output pin of the DSP, and also the control signals at each pipeline cycle. The developed CBS can be used in evaluating the performance of the target DSP before the RTL(Register Transfer Level) coding as well as a reference for the RTL level design.

We designed a DSP core simulator with C language, that is able to simulate 5-stage pipelined DSP core, named YS-DSP. It can emulate all 5 stage pipelines in the DSP core. It can also emulate memory access, exception processing, and DSP parallel processing. Each pipeline stage is implemented by combination of one or more functions to process parts of each stage. After modeling and validating the simulator, we can use it to verify and to complement the DSP core HDL model and to enhance its performance.

This paper presents an optimal implementation of a Daubechies-based pipelined discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT) processor using finite impulse response (FIR) filter banks. The feed-forward pipelined (FFP) architecture is exploited for implementation of the DWPT on the field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The proposed DWPT is based on an efficient transpose form structure, thereby reducing its computational complexity by half of the system. Moreover, the efficiency of the design is further improved by using a canonical-signed digit-based binary expression (CSDBE) and advanced functional sharing (AFS) methods. In this work, the AFS technique is proposed to optimize the convolution of FIR filter banks for DWPT decomposition, which reduces the hardware resource utilization by not requiring any embedded digital signal processing (DSP) blocks. The proposed AFS and CSDBE-based DWPT system is embedded on the Virtex-7 FPGA board for testing. The proposed design is implemented as an intellectual property (IP) logic core that can easily be integrated into DSP systems for sub-band analysis. The achieved results conclude that the proposed method is very efficient in improving hardware resource utilization while maintaining accuracy of the result of DWPT.

This paper discusses issues in VLSI design and implementation of high performance datapath circuits. Of particular concern will he various types of multiplier and adder, which are fundamental to DSP operations. Performance comparison will be provided in terms of sampling speed, layout area, and in particular, power consumption, with techniques that may be applied to reduce power dissipation also suggested. As an example, a low power, high performance recursive filter achieved through bit-level pipelining technique is illustrated

In the paper, we describe the design of a pipelined datapath synthesis system for DSP applications. Taking SFG (Signal Flow Graph) in schematic as inputs, the system generates pipelined datapaths automatically through scheduling and module allocation processes. For efficient hardware synthesis, scheduling and module allocation algorithms are proposed. The proposed scheduling algorithm is of iterative/constructive nature, where the measure of equi-distribution of operations to partitions is adopted as the objective function. Module allocation is performed to reduce the interconnection cost from the initial allocation. In the experiment, we compare the results with those of other systems and show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

In this paper, we propose a programmable 16 bit DSP architecture using FIFO instruction memory. With this DSP architecture, System structure, BUS structure, instruction set ant and an assembler for system test are developed. The characteristic of this structure is that it simply fetches instructions not from RAM but from FIFO using shift operations. Accordingly, System can be designed regardless of RAM access time. One cycle is enough to execute an instruction, if instruction pipeline is operated. Another merit of this structure is that we can obtain the same effect as instruction pipelining without constructing a complex pipelined controller by decreasing the pipeline number.

This paper presents a bitwidth optimization algorithm for efficient hardware sharing in digital signal processing system. The proposed algorithm determines the fixed-point representation for each signal through bitwidth optimization to generate the hardware requiring less area. To reduce the operator area, the algorithm partitions the abstract operations in the design description into several groups, such that the operations in the same group can share an operator. The partitioning result are fed to a high-level synthesis system to generate the pipelined fixed-point datapaths. The proposed algorithm has been implemented in SODAS-DSP an automatic synthesis system for fixed-point DSP hardware. Accepting the models of DSP algorithms in schematics, the system automatically generates the fixed-point datapath and controller satisfying the design constraints in area, speed, and SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio). Experimental results show that the efficiency of the proposed algorithm by generates the area-efficient DSP hardwares satisfying performance constraints.

In this paper, we introduce a new verification platform with ARM- and DSP-based multiprocessor architecture. Its simple communication interface with a crossbar switch architecture is suitable for a heterogeneous multiprocessor platform. The platform is used to verify the function and performance of a DVB-T baseband receiver using hardware and software partitioning techniques with a seamless hardware/software co-verification tool. We present a dual-processor platform with an ARM926 and a Teak DSP, but it cannot satisfy the standard specification of EN 300 744 of DVB-T ETSI. Therefore, we propose a new multiprocessor strategy with an ARM926 and three Teak DSPs synchronized at 166 MHz to satisfy the required specification of DVB-T.
