NEW APPROACH OF SIGNED BINARY NUMBERS MULTIPLICATION AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION ON FPGA
This paper proposes a new model of signed binary multiplication. This model is formulated mathematically and can handle four types of binary multipliers: signed positive numbers multiplied by signed positive numbers (SPN-by-SPN); signed positive numbers multiplied by signed negative numbers (SPN-by-SNN); signed negative numbers multiplied by signed positive numbers (SNN-by-SPN); and signed negative numbers multiplied by signed negative numbers (SNN-by-SNN). The proposed model has a low complexity algorithm, is easy to implement in software coding and integrated in a hardware FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), and is more powerful compared to the modified Baugh-Wooley's model

Two-dimensional DCT/IDCT architecture
A fully parallel architecture for the computation of a two-dimensional (2-D) discrete cosine transform (DCT), based on row-column decomposition is presented. It uses the same one dimensional (1-D) DCT unit for the row and column computations and (N2+N) registers to perform the transposition. It possesses features of regularity and modularity, and is thus well suited for VLSI implementation. It can be used for the computation of either the forward or the inverse 2-D DCT. Each 1-D DCT unit uses N fully parallel vector inner product (VIP) units. The design of the VIP units is based on a systematic design methodology using radix-2â arithmetic, which allows partitioning of the elements of each vector into small groups. Array multipliers without the final adder are used to produce the different partial product terms. This allows a more efficient use of 4:2 compressors for the accumulation of the products in the intermediate stages and reduces the number of accumulators from N to one. Using this procedure, the 2-D DCT architecture requires less than N2 multipliers (in terms of area occupied) and only 2N adders. It can compute a N x N-point DCT at a rate of one complete transform per N cycles after an appropriate initial delay
Algorithms and VLSI architectures for parametric additive synthesis
A parametric additive synthesis approach to sound synthesis is advantageous as it can model sounds in a large scale manner, unlike the classical sinusoidal additive based synthesis paradigms. It is known that a large body of naturally occurring sounds are resonant in character and thus fit the concept well. This thesis is concerned with the computational optimisation of a super class of form ant synthesis which extends the sinusoidal parameters with a spread parameter known as band width. Here a modified formant algorithm is introduced which can be traced back to work done at IRCAM, Paris. When impulse driven, a filter based approach to modelling a formant limits the computational work-load. It is assumed that the filter's coefficients are fixed at initialisation, thus avoiding interpolation which can cause the filter to become chaotic. A filter which is more complex than a second order section is required. Temporal resolution of an impulse generator is achieved by using a two stage polyphase decimator which drives many filterbanks. Each filterbank describes one formant and is composed of sub-elements which allow variation of the formantâs parameters. A resource manager is discussed to overcome the possibility of all sub- banks operating in unison. All filterbanks for one voice are connected in series to the impulse generator and their outputs are summed and scaled accordingly. An explorative study of number systems for DSP algorithms and their architectures is investigated. I invented a new theoretical mechanism for multi-level logic based DSP. Its aims are to reduce the number of transistors and to increase their functionality. A review of synthesis algorithms and VLSI architectures are discussed in a case study between a filter based bit-serial and a CORDIC based sinusoidal generator. They are both of similar size, but the latter is always guaranteed to be stable
