The implementation of software for embedded digital signal processing (DSP) applications
is an extremely complex process. The complexity arises from escalating functionality in the …

Haptic display is the process of applying forces to a human" observer" giving the sensation
of touching and interacting with real physical objects. Touch is unique among the senses …

Dataflow has proven to be an attractive computation model for programming digital signal
processing (DSP) applications. A restricted version of dataflow, termed synchronous …

The role of software is becoming increasingly important in the implementation of digital
signal processing (DSP) applications. As this trend intensifies, and the complexity of …

This paper presents the OpenDF framework and recalls that dataflow programming was
once invented to address the problem of parallel computing. We discuss the problems with …

Scheduling for embedded real-time systems Page 1 REAL-TIME EMBEDDED SYSTEMS are
of- ten characterized by the need for running several tasks on a limited set of processing units …

This paper discusses a hierarchical scheduling framework which reduces the complexity of
scheduling synchronous data flow (SDF) graphs onto multiple processors. The core of this …

Large-grain synchronous dataflow graphs or multi-rate graphs have the distinct feature that
the nodes of the dataflow graph fire at different rates. Such multi-rate large-grain dataflow …

In this paper we are concerned about executing synchronous dataflow (SDF) applications
on a multicore architecture where a core has a limited size of scratchpad memory (SPM) …

For the design of complex digital signal processing systems, block diagram oriented
synthesis of real time software for programmable target processors has become an …
