FILENUMBER: 442 BEGIN_KEYWORDS Text VLSI Digital Signal Processors DSP Madisetti END_KEYWORDS DATE: february 1995 TITLE: Text on VLSI Digital Signal Processors by Madisetti Text on VLSI Digital Signal Processors by Madisetti (Contributed by Vijay Madisetti of Georgia Tech) "VLSI Digital Signal Processors: An Introduction to Rapid Prototyping and Design Synthesis" by Vijay Madisetti provides a cohesive, quantitative and clear exposition of the implementation and prototyping of digital signal processing algorithms on programmable signal processors, parallel processing systems, and application-specific ICs. Included in this book are both programmable and dedicated DSPs as well as discussions on the latest optimization methods, and computer-aided design (CAD) techniques, using a systems-based approach. This book is suitable for first/second year graduate students in signal processing, computer engineering, telecommunications or control engineering, and may also be used at the senior undergraduate level. It will also be useful for the practicing professional in the industry. The book has been class-tested for 4 years at Georgia Tech, and has been offered on NTU. Basic digital design and an introduction to digital signals and systems is a sufficient background for this book, and no knowledge of VLSI design is assumed. Exercises for five chapters and an extensive list of recent references are provided. CONTENTS Chapter 1: Digital Signal Processors Chapter 2: Classification of DSP Architectures Chapter 3: Data/Instruction Memories, Communications, I/O Chapter 4: VLSI Signal Processors: Chapter 5: Datapath Design for DSP, High-Level Synthesis Chapter 6: Rapid Prototyping of Systems Chapter 7: Digital Signal Multiprocessors (DSMP) Chapter 8: DSMP Compilers and Schedulers Chapter 9: Formal Optimization methods for Scheduling, Assignment and Allocation for DSPs, Constrained Behavioral Synthesis.
