In this paper, a fuzzy logic controller(FLC) is designed for the pointing loop of the spin-stabilized platform. For the fuzzy inference, a fuzzy accelerator board using the Togai InfraLogic software and digital fuzzy processor(DFP110FC) is designed, and a validation of an algorithm for fuzzy logic control is also presented. The pointing loop of the spin-stabilized platform using FLC has better performance of step responses than a proportional controller in case of same loop hain through the software simulation and the experiment of implemented hardware.

We presetn sytem-level simulation methodology as well as environment setup established for CDMA digtial cellular mobile station in an effort to verify CDMA modem ASIC design. To make the system-level simulation feasible, behavioral modeling of a microcontroller was first carried out with VHDL. In addition, models written in C language were also developed to provide ASIC with realistic input data. Finally, the netlist of CDMA modem ASIC was loaded on the a hardware accelerator, which was interfaced with VHDL simulator, and ismulation was performed by excuting the actual CDMA call processing software. Simulation resutls thus obtained were confirmed by comparing them with the emulation resutls from the actual system constructed on hardware modeler. these methods were proved to be effective in both discovering in advance malfunctions when embedded in the system or design errors of ASIC and reducing simulation time by a factor of as much as 20 in case of simulation at gate-level.

This paper presents an ASIP (Application-specific Instruction Processor) for motion estimation that employs specific IME instructions and its programmable and reconfigurable hardware architecture for various video codecs, such as H.264/AVC, MPEG4, etc. With the proposed specific instructions and variable point 2D SAD hardware accelerator, it can handle the real-time processing requirement of High Definition (HD) video. With the SAD unit and its parallel operations using pattern information, the proposed IME instructions support not only full search algorithms but also other fast search algorithms. The hardware size is 25.5K gates for each Processing Element Group (PEG) which has 128 SAD Processor Elements (PEs). The proposed ASIP has been verified by the Synopsys Processor Designer and implemented by the Design Compiler using the IBM 90nm process technology. The hardware size is 453K gates for the IME unit and the operating frequency is 188MHz for 1080p@30 frame in real time. The proposed ASIP can reduce the hardware size about 26% and the number of operation cycles about 18%.

We describe in this paper a hardware-based improvement scheme of a real-time automatic speech recognition (ASR) system with respect to speed by designing a parallel feature extraction algorithm on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). A computationally intensive block in the algorithm is identified implemented in hardware logic on the FPGA. One such block is mel-frequency cepstrum coefficient (MFCC) algorithm used for feature extraction process. We demonstrate that the FPGA platform may perform efficient feature extraction computation in the speech recognition system as compared to the generalpurpose CPU including the ARM processor. The Xilinx Zynq-7000 System on Chip (SoC) platform is used for the MFCC implementation. From this implementation described in this paper, we confirmed that the FPGA platform is approximately 500× faster than a sequential CPU implementation and 60× faster than a sequential ARM implementation. We thus verified that a parallelized and optimized MFCC architecture on the FPGA platform may significantly improve the execution time of an ASR system, compared to the CPU and ARM platforms.
