Sponsored by: IEEE Piscataway NJ USA. p 802-805 CODEN: MSCSDL Publication Year: 1997 Abstract: In this paper, parallel processing of speech analysis techniques using networked computers is considered. A unique multiprocessor structure and algorithms have been developed. Results are presented demonstrating that networked computers afford the user the power equivalent to that of parallel processor systems and that processing of speech signals using these algorithms can be accomplished in real-time.

794-797 CODEN: MSCSDL Publication Year: 1997 Abstract: Carry-save arithmetic based architectures are becoming popular in VLSI designs. However, few designs are available for 2’s complement carry-save multipliers. The carry-save outputs from conventional 2’s complement multipliers are not in legitimate carry-save form. This leads to errors if carry-save manipulations, such as, saturations, sign-extension etc are used. In this paper, a pure carry-save multiplier design is presented. The architecture is compact and regular leading to ease in VLSI implementation. This architecture is extended to design a carry-save multiplierraccumulator. By manipulating the partial product additions a row of adders are saved. Since multipliers form the basic building blocks of any signal processing ASIC design, this leads to large savings in chip area and power dissipation. Application of this design to equalizers and other signal processing blocks is also presented. In English ŽAuthor abstract . 17 Refs.

Jr. Source: Proceedings of the 1997 40th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems. Part 2 Žof 2. Aug 3-6 1997 v 2 Sacramento, CA, USA. Sponsored by: IEEE Piscataway NJ USA. p 786-789 CODEN: MSCSDL Publication Year: 1997 Abstract: This paper shows that the switching activity of the sign-extended bits in a two’s complement number in a DSP system can be reduced by the application of a bias to the system’s input. The technique is easy to implement and requires only one to two additional adders. Experimental results show a 20% and 5% reduction in bit-switching activities for a typical voice grade signal and an FIR filter processing the signal, respectively.
