Implementation and evaluation of parallel FFT on Engineering and Scientific Computation Accelerator (ESCA) architecture

The fast Fourier transform (FFT) is a fundamental kernel of many computation-intensive scientific applications.This paper deals with an implementation of the FFT on the accelerator system,a heterogeneous multi-core architecture to accelerate computation-intensive parallel computing in scientific and engineering applications.The Engineering and Scientific Computation Accelerator (ESCA) consists of a control unit and a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) processing element (PE) array,in which PEs communicate with each other via a hierarchical two-level network-on-chip (NoC) with high bandwidth and low latency.We exploit the architecture features of ESCA to implement a parallel FFT algorithm efficiently.Experimental results show that both the proposed parallel FFT algorithm and the ESCA architecture are scalable.The 16-bit fixed-point parallel FFT performance of ESCA is compared with a published work to prove the superiority of the mapping algorithm and the hardware architecture.The floating-point parallel FFT performances of ESCA are evaluated and compared with those of the IBM Cell processor and GPU to demonstrate the computing power of the ESCA system for high performance applications.     

Map‐aided localization in sparse global positioning system environments using vision and particle filtering

A map‐aided localization approach using vision, inertial sensors when available, and a particle filter is proposed and empirically evaluated. The approach, termed PosteriorPose, uses a Bayesian particle filter to augment global positioning system (GPS) and inertial navigation solutions with vision‐based measurements of nearby lanes and stop lines referenced against a known map of environmental features. These map‐relative measurements are shown to improve the quality of the navigation solution when GPS is available, and they are shown to keep the navigation solution converged in extended GPS blackouts. Measurements are incorporated with careful hypothesis testing and error modeling to account for non‐Gaussian and multimodal errors committed by GPS and vision‐based detection algorithms. Using a set of data collected with Cornell's autonomous car, including a measure of truth via a high‐precision differential corrections service, an experimental investigation of important design elements of the PosteriorPose estimator is conducted. The algorithm is shown to statistically outperform a tightly coupled GPS/inertial navigation solution both in full GPS coverage and in extended GPS blackouts. Statistical performance is also studied as a function of road type, filter likelihood models, bias models, and filter integrity tests. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

基于SIMD结构的多标准LDPC译码器的VLSI实现

近年来,支持多标准的LDPC译码器已逐渐成为研究的热点.与传统译码器相比,所设计的LDPC译码器具有以下优点:1.实现了一个码率、码长可配置结构,进而可以支持多种标准;2.采用了一种改进型TPMP算法,使译码器的存储器容量大大减少,避免了因分块LDPC码的非规则性所造成的数据冲突问题;3.采用基于SIMD处理器的硬件结构,实现了硬件的高度规整性,易于芯片布局布线;4.设计了一个6级可配置流水线,可分时构造校验节点处理单元和变量节点处理单元,提高了硬件利用率和系统数据吞吐率.用这种架构实现了一个同时支持CMMB和DTMB两个标准的多标准LDPC译码器;芯片规模为75万门,时钟频率为220MHz,数据吞吐率为300Mbps.

Interpreting the Good Life: Growth Memories in the Lives of Mature, Happy People.

In 2 studies, the authors examined autobiographical memories for the presence of 2 growth orientations that were expected to correspond differentially to maturity and well-being, which are considered to be key facets of "the good life" by L. A. King (2001). Mature participants emphasized integrative memories (conceptual integration and learning), whereas happy participants emphasized intrinsic memories (humanistic concerns). Both kinds of growth memories correlated more strongly with eudaimonic than with hedonic measures of well-being. Growth memories were largely independent of Big Five traits in relation to maturity and well-being. Finally, older participants were more likely than younger participants to have greater maturity (marginally) and well-being, but this was in part explained by older participants' greater tendency to have growth memories. The discussion considers the role of growth memories in the intentional cultivation of the good life. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
