Enhancing GNU Radio for Hardware Accelerated Radio Design
(Virginia Tech, 2010-06-04)
As technology evolves and new methods for designing radios arise, it becomes necessary
to continue the search for fast and flexible development environments. Some of these
new technologies include software defined radio ...
Power Electronics System Communications
(Virginia Tech, 1999-01-14)
This work investigates communication issues in high-frequency power converters. A novel control communication network (Power Electronics System Network or PES Net) is proposed for modular, medium and high-power, converters. ...
Architecture-Independent Design for Run-Time Reconfigurable Custom Computing Machines
(Virginia Tech, 2000-07-20)
The configurable computing research community has provided a wealth of evidence that computational platforms based on FPGA technology are capable of cost-effectively accelerating certain kinds of computations. One actively ...
JHDLBits: An Open-Source Model for FPGA Design Automation
(Virginia Tech, 2004-07-19)
Today's Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) research community could use an extensible tool flow enabling designers to examine new algorithms and new methods of interacting with FPGA configurations. One such flow is ...
Design and Implementation of an FPGA-based Partially Reconfigurable Network Controller
(Virginia Tech, 2004-08-23)
There is currently a strong trend towards embedding Internet capabilities into electronics and everyday appliances. Most network controllers used in small appliances or for specialized purposes are built using micro ...
High Performance Applications on Reconfigurable Clusters
(Virginia Tech, 2000-09-20)
Many problems faced in the engineering world are computationally intensive. Filtering using FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filters is an example to that. This thesis discusses the implementation of a fast, reconfigurable, ...
Developing an Automated Explosives Detection Prototype Based on the AS&E 101ZZ System
(Virginia Tech, 1997-09-22)
This thesis describes the development of a multi-sensor, multi-energy x-ray
prototype for automated explosives detection. The system is based on the American
Science and Engineering model 101ZZ x-ray system. The 101ZZ unit ...
Implementation and Performance of an Improved Turbo Decoder on a Configurable Computing Machine
(Virginia Tech, 2000-07-08)
Turbo codes are a recently discovered class of error correction codes that achieve near-Shannon limit performance. Because of their complexity and highly parallel nature, turbo-coded applications are well suited for ...
FPGA-Based Accelerator Development for Non-Engineers
