Implementation of a High Throughput 3GPP Turbo Decoder on GPU

Turbo code is a computationally intensive channel code that is widely used in current and upcoming wireless standards. General-purpose graphics processor unit (GPGPU) is a programmable commodity processor that achieves high performance computation power by using many simple cores. In this paper, we present a 3GPP LTE compliant Turbo decoder accelerator that takes advantage of the processing power of GPU to offer fast Turbo decoding throughput. Several techniques are used to improve the performance of the decoder. To fully utilize the computational resources on GPU, our decoder can decode multiple codewords simultaneously, divide the workload for a single codeword across multiple cores, and pack multiple codewords to fit the single instruction multiple data (SIMD) instruction width. In addition, we use shared memory judiciously to enable hundreds of concurrent multiple threads while keeping frequently used data local to keep memory access fast. To improve efficiency of the decoder in the high SNR regime, we also present a low complexity early termination scheme based on average extrinsic LLR statistics. Finally, we examine how different workload partitioning choices affect the error correction performance and the decoder throughput.

三维ABUS图像多平面联合显示平台的MATLAB实现方法

西门子公司的创新型三维自动化乳腺超声(ABUS)系统已获得国内外医院的广泛应用,但其成像结果只能通过配套的SIEMENS ABUS Workplace影像工作站进行显示。由于该影像工作站长期被临床检查所占用,很难满足医生额外的教学和科研阅片需求。同时,该影像工作站专用于乳腺病变诊断,无法扩展面向下肢静脉曲张、腹壁疝诊断等拓展应用的定制功能。为了解决这两个问题,本文在深入分析ABUS系统DICOM文件结构的基础上,提出了基于MATLAB的三维ABUS图像多平面联合显示平台实现方法,该方法对三维ABUS图像的处理和分析具有很大的应用优势和临床价值。     

Maximal Delay Reduction for RLC-Based Multi-Source Multi-Sink Bus with Repeater Insertion

Signal propagation delay on a multi-source multi-sink bidirectional bus has a dominant effect on high-performance chips. This work presents a novel greedy algorithm that minimizes the critical propagation delay of an RLC-based bus. Based on the topology of a multi-source multi-sink bus and the RLC delay model, the proposed algorithm inserts signal repeaters into the critical path of the RLC-based bus and adjusts their sizes to minimize the maximal propagation delay. This procedure is repeated until no additional improvement is needed. Several buses with various topologies are tested using the proposed algorithm in deep submicron technologies. Experimentally, the critical delay in an RLC-based bus can be reduced dramatically by up to 62.4% with inserted repeater sizes of 24 and execution time of 1.65 s on average. Moreover, average delay reduction, repeater sizes, and running time for 0.18 μm technology are 5.8%, 6.4%, and 26.2%, respectively, better than those of 0.35 μm. Additionally, the topologies of all of the RLC-based buses with inserted repeaters in deep submicron technologies are simulated using HSPICE. The error ratio in the critical delay of a bus with inserted repeaters determined by comparison with HSPICE is 2.7% on average. The proposed algorithm is simple and extremely practical.
