Featured Online ArticlesHow Audio Processing Algorithms Help Improve Sound from Small SpeakersAugust 25, 2010 -- Modern smartphones are slick and powerful machines. Their size varies between different models but generally speaking, state of the art devices pack lots of features into an approximately 110 x 60 x 15 mm package.
Once the display and the circuit boards are taken into consideration, not much room is left for the speakers. Now, think about a home theater and how much room a subwoofer takes. Most of you may think that these are two completely different applications and should not be even compared. This is true to a certain extent. In fact, while they are indeed wildly different applications, the content running on them is becoming more similar every day. Faster standards for mobile communications (3G, 3.5G, 4G) and their supporting networks have enabled audio and video download and playback on handsets. Customers expect that higher bandwidth comes with higher audio and video quality. ... read more Dual Core Architectures in Automotive SoCsAugust 23, 2010 -- Automotive SoCs have traditionally been single core, since not much computational work or high end applications were targeted on them. Automotives were simpler, so were the applications and so were the SoCs. As more and more electronics made room in the automotives, the complexity of the SoCs kept on increasing. Now the focus is to have most of the automotive under electronic control. ... read more The 2010 EDN DSP Directory April 22, 2010 -- Digital-Signal processing is finding its way into everything.

C6Flo Free Software Development ToolJuly 26, 2010 -- All C6Flo users begin their design in the graphical domain. Each DSP application begins as an intuitive block diagram. Adding components to the system is as easy as using drag and drop to move blocks from the palette onto the diagram. ... read more
Multicore Processors Bring Innovation to Medical ImagingJune 1, 2010 -- Imaging systems based on either a hardwired,
non-programmable processor or on a
specialized graphics processor cannot match
the flexibility, scalability and power efficiency
required by the next generation of portable
medical imaging equipment. In contrast,
multicore digital signal processors (DSPs) –
whether a heterogeneous system-on-chip
(SoC) with a DSP core and general-purpose
processor (GPP) or a homogenous SoC with
multiple, similar DSP cores – bring the best
of both worlds to bear on the challenges of
medical imaging. Emerging medical imaging
systems are in turn begetting exciting new
diagnostic procedures and treatments that
continue to improve the quality of medical care. ... read more
