This book was released on 2000 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rapid-Prototyping of Application Specific Signal Processors (RASSP) program was a major DARPA/Tri-Service initiative to reinvent the process by which embedded digital signal processors were developed. The goal of the DARPA/Tri-service RASSP program was to dramatically improve the design process for complex digital systems, particularly embedded signal processors. A key objective was to reduce the total product development time by at least a factor of four while making similar improvements in product quality and life cycle cost. Also important was the ability to field state-of-the-art equipment at system build time and to rapidly upgrade the system throughout its life cycle. The RASSP Education and Facilitation (E & F) program was an unprecedented program set up to disseminate the information developed by 24 other RASSP programs to enable a paradigm shift in the way signal processors were designed. The RASSP E & F program is made up of four distinct functions: education, information server, interface, and transition. Major accomplishments include the establishment and maintenance of a web server, the publication of the "RASSP Digest", development of educational and training materials, and technology transfer including executive seminars, workshops, RASSP Course Modules, and IEEE publication of two RASSP CD-ROMs. The second edition of the RASSP CD-ROM presents the essence of the knowledge from the entire RASSP program. The web server has been relocated but is still operational.
Download or read book Rapid Prototyping of Application Specific Signal Processors written by Mark A. Richards and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997-02-28 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid Prototyping of Application Specific Signal Processors presents leading-edge research that focuses on design methodology, infrastructure support and scalable architectures developed by the 150 million dollar DARPA United States Department of Defense RASSP Program. The contributions to this edited work include an introductory overview chapter that explains the origin, concepts and status of this effort. The RASSP Program is a multi-year DARPA/Tri-Service initiative intended to dramatically improve the process by which complex digital systems, particularly embedded signal processors, are designed, manufactured, upgraded and supported. This program was originally driven by military applications for signal processing. The requirements of military applications for real-time signal processing are typically more demanding than those of commercial applications, but the time gap between technology employed in advanced military prototypes and commercial products is narrowing rapidly. The research on methodologies, infrastructure and architectures presented in this book is applicable to commercial signal processing systems that are in design now, or will be developed before the end of the decade. Rapid Prototyping of Application Specific Signal Processors is a valuable reference for developers of embedded digital systems, particularly systems engineers for signal processing systems (such as digital TV, biomedical image processing systems and telecommunications) and for military contractors who are developing signal processing systems. This book will also be of interest to managers who are charged with responsibility for creating and maintaining environments and infrastructures for developing large embedded digital systems. The chief value for managers will be the defining of methods and processes that reduce development time and cost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses the results of the TI RASSP study efforts to identify a development process consistent with the RASSP program methodology. In this study, we defined the concept of a library based system design approach with in-cycle and out-of-cycle development of library elements. This report discusses this approach and the issues associated with system, hardware, and software design tools, and manufacturing foundry interfaces required to support a library based system development approach. The library based development concept is defined and the modularity and partitioning of a domain specific architecture is discussed. A description of the library elements supporting a library based system design approach is provided. Requirements, issues, and approaches to signal processing system design analyses and tradeoffs, and system simulation and validation are discussed. Data base representation issues, frame- words, and interfaces required to provide a seamless RASSP development environment are identified. Reusable software and library element development issues are addressed. Hardware CAD issues associated with library element development, system analyses, simulation, and validation are discussed. Manufacturing foundry CAD, CIM, design tool interfaces, and test issues are also discussed. A summary of the effort and recommendations for implementation are also included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the final report for the Rapid Prototyping of Applications Specific Signal Processors (RASSP) Program - Study Phase. This study represents a five-month contract effort, DARPA contract number MDA972-92-C-0057, performed by Honeywell's Systems and Research Center for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, DARPA. The Broad objective of this study was to produce information that would aid the Government program manager to manage the risks inherent in the implementation phase of the RASSP program. This meant (1) identifying the risks and problem areas that might be encountered during the implementation phase and (2) suggesting risk reducers or solutions that could be used to minimize or solve these problems. Ultimately this meant recommending an approach for the implementation phase and also identifying potential areas for further work. The RASSP program embraces two tightly coupled focuses; one related to process or methodology, and the other related to target prototype or product systems. These are discussed in detail in this final report.

Book excerpt: This is a Rapid Prototyping of Application Specific Signal Processors (RASSP) program funded by DARPA. The goal of this program is to develop languages, techniques, and tools for hardware, software cosynthesis of board and MCM-level Digital Signal Processing (DSP) systems from very high level requirements specifications. A second goal is to develop a usage guide for the Level 2 Waveform and Vector Exchange Specification (WAVES) language. The program includes the development of: (1) VSPEC, a declarative interface requirements specification language for VHDL entities, (2) hardware/software cosynthesis techniques for embedded DSP systems, (3) hierarchical multi-technology hardware partitioning tools, (4) software compilation techniques to compile behavioral VHDL into C, (5) a WAVES Level 2 usage guide, and (6) exploring WAVES usage in conjunction with BSDL and for hierarchical testing.
