High performance architectures for the data intensive and latency restrained applications can be achieved by maximizing both parallelism and pipelining. In this paper, the CORDIC based hardware primitives of 3-D rotation with high throughput 3-D vector interpolation are presented. The proposed architecture for 3-D vector interpolator, which is based on the redundant CORDIC arithmetic, has been ...

In this paper, we propose a reduced complexity and power efficient System-on-Chip (SoC) architecture for adaptive interference suppression in CDMA systems. The adaptive Parallel-ResidueCompensation architecture leads to significant performance gain over the conventional interference cancellation algorithms. The multi-code commonality is explored to avoid the direct Interference Cancellation (IC...

This paper presents two efficient very large scale integration (VLSI) architectures and buffer size optimization for full-search block matching algorithms. Starting from an overlapped data flow of search area, both systolicand semisystolicarray architectural solutions are derived. By means of exploiting stream memory banks, not only input/output (I/O) bandwidth can be minimized, but also proces...

A novel algebraic integer (AI) based multiencoding of Daubechies-12 2-D wavelet filters having error-free integer-based computation. Digital VLSI architectures employing parallel channels are proposed, physically realized and tested. The multi-encoded AI framework allows a multiplication-free and computationally accurate architectture. It also guarantees a noise-free computation throughput the ...

In this chapter, we present contemporary VLSI processor architectures that support multimedia applications. We classified these processors into two groups: dedicated multimedia processors, which perform dedicated multimedia functions, such as MPEG encoding or decoding, and general-purpose processors that provide support for multimedia. Dedicated multimedia processors use either function-specifi...

and Conclusions Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits used in the space and nuclear industry are continuously subjected to ion radiation. As the limits of VLSI technology are pushed towards sub-micron levels in order to achieve higher levels of integration devices become more vulnerable to radiation induced errors. These radiation induced errors may lead to possible system failure, partic...

It is a well known fact that full custom designed computer architectures can achieve much higher performance for specific applications than general purpose computers. This performance has to be paid for: a long design trajectory results in a high cost-performance ratio. Current VLSI design and compilation tools however, make semi-custom designs feasible with greatly reduced costs and time to ma...

Three dimensional integration schemes for VLSI have the potential for enabling the development of new high-performance architectures for applications such as focal plane sensors. Due to the high costs involved in 3-D VLSI fabrication and the fabrication complexity of 3-D integration, analysis of the design and process tradeoffs for a particular application is essential. An architectural and top...
