The paper deals with important topic of nowadays using FPGA in military applications. The FPGA are used in the defence industry instead of ASIC circuits for the same reason as in the civilian sector currently. The main advantages of the FPGA are presented in the paper. Base on these advantages we can define several military applications of the FPGA. The implementations of these applications are...

The distributed minority and majority voting based redundancy (DMMR) scheme was recently proposed as an efficient alternative to the conventional N-modular redundancy (NMR) scheme for the physical design of mission/safety-critical circuits and systems. The DMMR scheme enables significant improvements in fault tolerance and design metrics compared to the NMR scheme albeit at the expense of a sli...

This paper introduces the concept and technology of Application-domain Specific Instruction-set Processor (ASIP). First, VLSI design trend over the decades is overviewed and processors are shown to be expected one of the main components in the System Level Design. Then, the advantage of ASIP over General Purpose Processor (GPP) and Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is illustrated. ...

This research proposes a novel MCDMmodel, including DEMATEL, ANP, and VIKOR for exploring portfolio selection based on CAPM. We probe into the influential factors and relative weights of risk-free rate, expected market return, and beta of the security. The purpose of this research is to establish an investment decision model and provides investors with a reference of portfolio selection most su...

Received Jul 22, 2012 Revised Oct 23, 2012 Accepted Nov 14, 2012 Time series forecasting is an active research area that has drawn considerable attention for applications in a variety of areas. Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models are one of the most important time series models used in financial market forecasting over the past three decades but not very often used to forec...

Embedded systems are special purpose systems which perform predefined tasks with very specific requirements like high performance, low volume or low power. Most of the time, using a general purpose processor for such systems results in a design which is poor to meet the application specific requirement. On the other hand, ASIC design cycle is too costly and too slow for the embedded application...

Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous (GALS) Systems have provoked renewed interest over recent years as they have the potential to combine the benefits of asynchronous and synchronous design paradigms. It has been applied to ASICs, but not yet applied to FPGAs. In this paper we propose applying GALS techniques to FPGAs in order to overcome the limitation on timing imposed by slow routing.

Sphere decoding (SD) allows to solve highdimensional MIMO maximum likelihood detection problems with significantly lower complexity than other methods. The SD algorithm has, however, mostly only been analyzed with DSP implementations in mind. We show that VLSI implementations call for new performance metrics, analyze the resulting implementation tradeoffs for the decoding of complex signal cons...

In the broadest sense, a System-on-Chip (SOC) is a semiconductor product that incorporates significant circuit blocks (cores) from more than a single design group. Along this definition, every semiconductor manufacturer who has ever reused a large circuit design within a larger product has created a SOC, as has every ASIC designer who has ever used a foundry's memory arrays or largescale librar...
