BERKELEY, Calif., Oct. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Berkeley Design Technology, Inc. (BDTI) has concluded its first public benchmarking of a massively parallel multicore processor, the picoChip PC102 from picoChip Designs Limited. In this landmark effort, BDTI used its BDTI Communications Benchmark (OFDM)(TM) to evaluate the performance of the PC102, a programmable multicore digital signal processor containing 308 heterogeneous processor cores and 14 coprocessors. The BDTI Communications Benchmark (OFDM) is an application-oriented benchmark based on an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receiver and is representative of the baseband processing found in many current and emerging wired and wireless communications applications. Jeff Bier, widely respected technology analyst and president of BDTI, announced the results, saying, "BDTI is pleased that picoChip has selected the BDTI Communications Benchmark (OFDM) to demonstrate the capabilities of the PC102. BDTI's benchmarks command the highest respect among electronic system developers, due to the careful design of the benchmarks and to BDTI's rigorous certification process. A unique aspect of BDTI's benchmarks is that they enable comparison of highly dissimilar processing devices. For example, the BDTI Communications Benchmark (OFDM) has been used to compare the performance of conventional single-core DSP processors, FPGAs, and multicore processors from a variety of vendors." The BDTI Communications Benchmark (OFDM)(TM) is a simplified OFDM communications receiver. It was designed to closely model the computationally demanding functions of broadband communications applications while limiting complexity in order to minimize the effort needed to implement the benchmark. The BDTI Communications Benchmark (OFDM) and other application-oriented benchmarks developed by BDTI are the only independently developed and certified benchmarks for comparing the capabilities of widely different processing devices on embedded processing tasks. Other application-oriented benchmark suites from BDTI suitable for evaluating multicore processing solutions include the BDTI Video Encoder and Decoder Benchmarks(TM) and the BDTI Solution Benchmark(TM) for H.264 Decoding. BDTI's analysis of picoChip's 160 MHz PC102 shows that the device is able to handle 14 channels of the BDTI OFDM benchmark at an associated cost-per-channel of .79. In contrast, a high-performance FPGA benchmarked by BDTI using the BDTI OFDM benchmark supports 432 channels at a cost-per-channel of .97, and a high-performance DSP processor similarly benchmarked supports about 3.5 channels at a cost-per-channel of approximately 5. The PC102 offers a mid-range solution for wireless equipment manufacturers that need more performance than provided by a DSP processor but don't want to use an FPGA.

OTTAWA, Oct. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zarlink Semiconductor Inc. (NYSE/TSX:ZL) today expanded its hands-free voice processing portfolio with new firmware that simplifies design, reduces cost and speeds time-to-market for feature-rich desktop phones and home automation systems. The ZLS(TM)38503 firmware supports a range of features, including voice recording and prompting, dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) receiver, tone generator, call progress tone detection, and caller ID. The voice messaging and prompting firmware works with the previously released ZL38004 hardware platform and ZLS38502 advanced speakerphone firmware to provide a complete solution. Zarlink's integrated voice processing firmware provides designers with a 30-40 percent cost-savings compared to using discrete DTMF and caller ID chips. "Zarlink offers customers a complete, advanced voice processing platform that reduces cost and solves integration issues while enhancing voice quality in hands-free communication systems," said Andrew Faulkner, director of Zarlink's Voice Processing product line. "Zarlink's fully integrated hardware and firmware solution eliminates the need for discrete components and can be easily upgraded in-field to support future functionality. In comparison, alternative solutions often require third-party or internally developed firmware ported to a DSP. This consumes valuable MIPS and adds to development time, cost and complexity." Firmware supporting voice features The ZLS38503 firmware supports voice prompting/messaging and signaling features. Voice prompting asks the user to perform a function, for example to leave a message after the tone, or provides the user with caller ID information. The messaging allows the user to leave a message. The signaling block includes caller ID type 1 detection, DTMF detection, tone generator (including DTMF generation) and call progress tone detection. Alternative solutions would require a number of components to support these features. An integrated tone generator creates single and dual tones, including pre-programmed DTMF tones. The tone ringer can generate unique ringer tones for an electronic ringer. The integrated DTMF receiver detects tones for pass code entry and message playback on phone systems. In home automation systems, the DTMF receiver can be used to detect keypad tones to control certain applications, for example secure door entry. Zarlink's ZLS38502 application-specific firmware is a complete package of noise reduction and echo cancellation algorithms specifically designed to provide high-end voice quality in a wide range of speakerphone-enabled systems. The firmware supports full-duplex operation, and integrates psychoacoustic noise reduction along with acoustic echo cancellation and equalization. The ZL38004 hands-free voice processing hardware platform comprises a voice optimized digital signal processor (DSP), integrated memory and dual high-performance CODECs. Zarlink firmware is loaded onto the hardware platform via either an external flash memory or through a microprocessor microport, making the voice processing platform extremely flexible and able to support customization when required. Availability and support Zarlink's hands-free voice processing platform is available as a kit to allow customers to choose from lightly to fully featured hardware options and application-specific firmware for car kits and speakerphones. Firmware is royalty free, and is field upgradeable to support future enhancements.
