| Description |
Parallel Digital Signal Processors will run applications that you
can not even dream of now, virtual world, seamless real time
multimedia communications, seamless wireless and broadband
networking, etc.. You will be surrounded with intelligent
terminals! Do you find this challenging? This is your chance to
start to equip yourself with the skills needed for such technology.
However writing parallel DSP software for real time applications
is not straight forward. The resulting software must be very
efficient. Although, such efficient programs can be hand crafted
by the programmer, however this will generally result in a long
time to market. To simplify the process, object oriented design
and implementation of these systems is being adopted. This will
allow the problem to be split into smaller sub-tasks or objects
which can be dealt with separately. Also, this will allow the
design of real time software systems in a top down fashion. The
main problem is that OO software is not very efficient due to the
overhead of describing objects. Objective: This project is
concerned with evaluating the potential of object oriented design
and implementation of concurrent real time systems. The aim is
to produce a methodology for minimising the overhead that
results form using OO programming. Skills: Programming in
C++. Basic knowledge of mathematics. Equipment: PC connected
to a DSP board.
