A fast, power-efficient electro-optical vector-by-matrix multiplier (VMM) architecture is presented. Careful design of an electrical unit supporting high-speed data transfer enables this architecture to overcome bottlenecks encountered by previous VMM architectures. Based on the proposed architecture, we present an electro-optical digital signal processing (DSP) coprocessor that can achieve a s...

To meet increasing performance requirements of DSP applications, application specific processor designs, e.g. function unit (FU) duplication and register file (RF) distribution, are widely used in the design of DSP processors. In this paper, an application specific approach is proposed for the design of interconnection network in such DSP processors. By extracting the scheduling information of ...

Desmosomes are intercellular junctions that confer strong cell-cell adhesion, thus conferring resistance against mechanical stress on epithelial tissues. A body of evidence indicates that decreased expression of desmosomal proteins is associated with poor prognosis in various cancers. As a key component of desmosomal plaque proteins, the functional role of desmoplakin (DSP) in cancer is not yet...

OBJECTIVE Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) is classically viewed as an early phenomenon in diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSP). We aimed to determine the characteristics of HRV across the spectrum of clinical DSP in type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Eighty-nine diabetic subjects and 60 healthy volunteers underwent assessment of RR interval variation (RR(var)) during deep...

The development of computing and networking applications based on Internet has opened a new way to understand control and instrumentation systems. Information and communication technologies make possible the use of telecommunication networks, such as the Internet, to design remote applications applied to different fields, such as, telecontrol, measurement instrumentation, telemedicine, embedded...

Dentin sialoprotein (DSP) is a major glycoprotein present in the mineralized dentin matrix that is expressed mainly by young and mature odontoblasts. Mutations in the DSP coding regions are linked to Dentinogenesis imperfecta I and II. indicating the importance of DSP in tooth formation. Previous studies have identified multiple mRNA transcripts in dentin that code for both DSP and phosphophory...

In order to improve the energy dissipation of the masonry infilled frame structure while decreasing the stiffening and strengthening effects of the infill panels, a new dry stacked panel (DSP) semi-interlocking masonry (SIM) infill panel has been developed. In this paper, the material properties of DSP and a traditional unreinforced masonry (URM) panel have been evaluated experimentally. A seri...

The FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) constitute of many programmable modules like Configuration Logic Blocks (CLBs), Block Random Access Memories (BRAM), DSP 48 blocks and Input/output (I/O) modules. The CLBs are the main programmable logic units which consist of different number of logic slices and each slice contains different number of LUTs and flips flops depending upon the FPGA device ...

Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) are employed in all elds of mobile communication applications, e.g. in speech, audio, modem, video, or graphic processing. Due to diierent processing requirements, today, for each application diierent DSPs have to be employed. Thus, in contrary to existing DSP solutions, our work is targeted towards designing expandable and customizable DSP architectures. To ach...

The ongoing advances in semiconductor technology are the enabler for complete System on Chip (SoC) solutions. In this SoC domain Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) are employed to carry out software driven digital signal processing tasks. Although DSPs could still be modified in the SoC domain, they are mainly employed as fixed DSP cores. Possible adaptations to the embedding system cannot be car...
