Course contents
This course covers the most common digital architectures for signal processing. Starting from the study of a few algorithms required for consumer applications in video and speech processing, we derive the main specifications for an actual hardware and software implementation. This approach allows us to explain why existing machines are organized in this way and understand the ongoing trends.
The main points of this course are:
- Analysis of algorithms for image and video processing with a derivation of the computational costs;
- Architectures of the available processors with examples of ASIC and DSP machines taken from existing products;
- Models of parallel algorithms: pipeline oriented computation
- Parallel algorithms derived from Data Flow Graph description
- Mapping of algorithms on parallel hardware
- Impact of word length on a few simple algorithms
Lab work: programming of reconfigurable DSP and parallel machines
