Why DSP's play an increasingly important role in Embedded Engineering Time: 9.15 - 10.00 An introduction to the use of DSP's in embedded systems, their architectures and capabilities.
High-end DSP Technology for High end Systems Time: 10.00 - 10.45 High performance floating point signal processing continues to relentlessly advance. The latest digital signal processor (DSP) targeting this space is the TS-201 TigerSHARC from Analog Devices. This DSP sets new levels of processing performance/power, on-chip memory, and I/O bandwidth, and clearly represents the state-of-the-art. Its unique ability to perform efficient floating point and fixed point operations makes it ideally suited to communication, radar, sonar, audio, imaging, and other complex applications. BittWare is a pioneer in the DSP board market, leading the way with first implementations of Analog Devices DSP for over a decade. The boards are supported by innovative architectures, comprehensive software suites, and modular I/O. The new T2 family of boards, based on the TS-201, outperforms other DSP boards by almost an order of magnitude for real-time data flow driven applications. In this presentation, BittWare will provide an overview of the TigerSHARC, the new TS-201, and its T2 board family. In addition, these products and architectures will be compared to PowerPC based solutions using metrics including bandwidth-to-processing ratio (BPR), processing-to-power ratio (PPR), and continuous cFFTs.
Advances in RTOS Architecture for Wireless Development Time: 11.00 - 11.40 A discussion on how Realtime Operating Systems have advanced in design to address the needs of both deeply embedded systems as well as complex multi-cpu and mixed cpu/dsp systems.
Developing Wireless products in a "Virtual Environment". Time: 11.40 - 12.20 SDC Systems will present this new technology from Virtio. Virtio have created software that simulates "hardware", enabling engineers to start software development prior to hardware availability. Further benefits of this system means that development can easily be distributed across a large development team and software/hardware integration testing can be undertaken at all stages. The Secret to Developing Software Configurable Basestations Time: 12.20-13.00 The idea of software-defined radio has been around for many years now, promising the great advantage of flexibility in the development and evolution of wireless infrastructure products. Recent advances in technology mean that it is now feasible to implement a complete 3G baseband solution in DSP; however, even though the raw horsepower is available, there are still many issues to overcome in the implementation of a DSP-based 3G solution. This presentation will identify the key technical problems and examine some solutions for overcoming the difficulties in achieving the objectives of an all-software baseband: flexibility, scalability, and ease of integration. To illustrate these benefits we will show how the techniques have been successfully used to implement a multimode 3G baseband solution.
Time: 13.00 - 13.45 Break for lunch.
