Multilevel MPSoC Performance Evaluation: New ISSPT Model

To deploy the enormous hardware resources available in Multi Processor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoC) efficiently, rapidly and accurately, methods of Design Space Exploration (DSE) are needed to evaluate the different design alternatives. In this paper, we present a framework that makes fast simulation and performance evaluation of MPSoC possible early in the design flow, thus reducing the time-to-market. In this framework and within the Transaction Level Modeling (TLM) approach, we present a new definition of ISS level by introducing two complementary modeling sublevels ISST and ISSPT. This later, that we illustrate an arbiter modeling approach that allows a high performance MPSoC communication. A round-robin method is chosen because it is simple, minimizes the communication latency and has an accepted speed-up. Two applications are tested and used to validate our platform: Game of life and JPEG Encoder. The performance of the proposed approach has been analyzed in our platform MPSoC based on multi-MicroBlaze. Simulation results show with ISSPT sublevels gives a high simulation speedup factor of up to 32 with a negligible performance estimation error margin

The relationship between the dimensions of the internal auditory canal and the anomalies of the vestibulocochlear nerve

Background: Internal auditory canal (IAC) stenosis and vestibulocochlear nerve (VCN) abnormalities have been reported to be associated with sensorineural hearing loss. Previous studies classified the normal dimensions of the IAC and its anomalies with no consideration of the VCN. Other studies categorised the VCN development in only stenotic canals. In the present study, an anatomical classification of the normal dimensions of the IAC and its anomalies and their association with malformations of the VCN and its subdivisions were described. Materials and methods: Retrospective review was undertaken for children ranged from 1 to 10 years. A total of 764 canals were investigated for pre-operative assessment of cochlear implantation. Other 100 canals of normal hearing ears were included as the control group. The maximum anteroposterior diameter, considered the width of the canal, was measured in axial plane and the length of the canal was identified in coronal plane. The canals were categorised normal: if they are from 3 to 8 mm, patulous: if they are more than 8 mm, stenotic: if they are less than 3 mm and atretic if absent, using multislice computed tomography. The VCN trunks and their subdivisions were investigated using magnetic resonance imaging. Results: Internal auditory canals were found normal in 66% with a mean width: 5.27 ± ± 0.68, patulous in 17% with a mean width 113% more than that of the control group (p = 0.000), stenotic in 13% with a mean width 73% less as compared to that of the control group (p = 0.000) and atretic in 4% of the experimental canals. The VCN trunks were found normal with well-developed subdivisions in 77.8% of the normal canals, 98.4% of the patulous canals, and 19.2% of the stenotic canals. The VCN trunks were normal with hypoplastic subdivisions in 11.3% of the normal canals, 1.6% in the patulous canals, and 61.6% in the stenotic canals with a mean width 52% less than that of the normal trunk with developed subdivisions. Hypoplastic VCN trunks with absent subdivisions were reported in 7.3% of the normal canals, 11.1% of the stenotic canals and in 3.2% of the atretic canals. The VCN trunks were not found in 3.6% of the normal canals, in 8.1% of the stenotic canals and in 96.8% of the atretic canals. Conclusions: Internal auditory canal formation was dependent on the process of development and growth of the eighth cranial nerve and its subdivisions that greatly affected the completion of IAC canalisation. This paper could serve as a reference providing a quantitative classification of the relationship between the dimensions of the IAC and the development of the VCN trunk and its subdivisions

Power savings analysis of clipping and filtering method in OFDM systems

The clipping and filtering method is analyzed in terms of power savings. The analysis takes account of the gain in the amplifier efficiency due to peak-to-average-power-ratio (PAPR) reduction. Assuming a linear amplifier and a typical digital signal processor, the power savings is shown to be in the order of Watts

Single-bit adaptive channel equalization for narrowband signals

In this paper, a new design of a single-bit adaptive channel equalization is proposed using sigma delta modulation and a single-bit block Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm. With correlated narrowband input signals, this model is capable to converge and provide equivalent equalization filter with improvement in the SNR and very low Symbol Error Rate (SER). The input, filter coefficients and output values are all in single-bit and ternary format that results in a reduction in hardware complexity compared to traditional multi-bit channel equalization. Additionally, the technique avoids the need for successive conversion from multi-bit to single bit and back at the receiver and transmitter stages

Consensus on acute behavioural disturbance in the UK: a multidisciplinary modified Delphi study to determine what it is and how it should be managed.

BackgroundAcute behavioural disturbance (ABD) is a term used in law enforcement and healthcare, but there is a lack of clarity regarding its meaning. Common language should be used across staff groups to support the identification, prioritisation and delivery of care to this group of patients. The terminology currently used is inconsistent and confusing. This study aimed to reach a consensus on the criteria for identification and management of ABD, and to agree when other care pathways or guidelines might be more appropriately used.MethodsA modified Delphi study with participation from stakeholder organisation representatives was conducted in January-April 2023 online. In round 1, statements were generated by participants in response to broad questions. Participants then rated their level of agreement with statements in subsequent rounds, with statements achieving a consensus removed for inclusion in the final derived consensus statement. Non-consensus statement responses were assessed for stability.ResultsOf 430 unique statements presented for rating, 266 achieved a consensus among 30 participants representing eight stakeholder organisations. A derived consensus statement was generated from these statements. The median group response to statements which failed to achieve a consensus was reliable (Krippendorff's alpha=0·67).ConclusionsThere is a consensus across stakeholder organisations that ABD is not a separate entity to agitation, and guidance should instead be altered to address the full range of presentations of agitation. While the features of concern in this severely agitated group of patients can be described, the advice for recognition may vary depending on staff group. Criteria for recognition are provided and potential new terminology is described

Signal processing using short word-length

Recently short word-length (normally 1 bit or bits) processing has become a promising technique. However, there are unresolved issues in sigma-delta modulation, which is the basis for 1b/2b systems. These issues hindered the full adoption of single-bit techniues in industry. Among these problems is the stability of high-order modulators and the limit cycle behaviour. More importantly, there is no adaptive LMS structure of any kind in 1b/2b domain. The challenge in this problem is the harsh quantization that prevents straightforward LMS application. In this thesis, the focus has been made on three axes: designing new single-bit DSP applications, proposing novel approaches for stability analysis, and tacking the unresolved problems of 1b/2b adaptive filtering. Two structures for 1b digital comb filtering are proposed. A ternary DC blocker structure is also presented and performanc e is tested. We also proposed a single-bit multiplierless DC-blocking structure. The stability of a single-bit high-order signma-delta modulator is studied under dc inputs. A new approach for stability analysis is proposed based on analogy with PLL analysis. Finally we succeeded in designing 1b/2b Wiener-like filtering and introduced (for the first time) three 1b/2b adaptive schemes
