Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

In the new era of digital revolution, new advanced DSP applications have appeared. The advances in modern DSP applications, such as multimedia, big data, IoT, etc., have increased the importance of the optimization and efficient implementation of DSP algorithms and architectures, both for a VLSI or a software  VLSI implementation. We can say that they represent an essential part of the research in such modern applications.

For real time implementations of such modern DSP applications, an efficient optimization of such algorithms and architectures for an efficient VLSI implementation are often a critical and challenging issue. For example, real-time multimedia applications have increasingly greater performance requirements due to data processing and transmission of huge data volumes at high speeds, with resource constraints specific to portable devices.

This Special Issue focuses on papers that demonstrate how these design challenges can be overcome using innovative solutions.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:

  • VLSI signal processing;
  • Signal processing methods for an efficient implementation;
  • Optimization of the VLSI implementation of multimedia blocks;
  • Low-power circuits and systems for DSP applications;
  • Efficient adaptive/learning algorithms (low complexity/fast versions, optimized parameters, etc.);
  • Tensor-based signal processing (efficient decomposition methods, low-rank approximations, etc.);
  • Sparsity-aware algorithms.

Neural networks have become a cornerstone of computer vision applications, with tasks ranging from image classification to object detection. However, challenges such as hyperparameter optimization (HPO) and model compression remain critical for improving performance and deploying models on resource-constrained devices. In this work, we address these challenges using Tensor Network-based methods. For HPO, we propose and evaluate the TetraOpt algorithm against various optimization algorithms. These evaluations were conducted on subsets of the NATS-Bench dataset, including CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and ImageNet subsets. TetraOpt consistently demonstrated superior performance, effectively exploring the global optimization space and identifying configurations with higher accuracies. For model compression, we introduce a novel iterative method that combines CP, SVD, and Tucker tensor decompositions. Applied to ResNet-18 and ResNet-152, we evaluated our method on the CIFAR-10 and Tiny ImageNet datasets. Our method achieved compression ratios of up to 14.5× for ResNet-18 and 2.5× for ResNet-152. Additionally, the inference time for processing an image on a CPU remained largely unaffected, demonstrating the practicality of the method. Full article

Two complicating features commonly found in wave propagation applications include dispersion, i.e., frequency-dependent propagation velocity, and reflections, which introduce coherent noise. In this work, we present a signal processing technique which can be applied in a variety of applications to decompose signals into their forward- and backward-propagating components. The theory is presented, along with algorithmic implementation and experimental validation on a Timoshenko beam. The implications and potential utility of the method are briefly discussed.

This study proposes a novel factorization method for the DCT IV algorithm that allows for breaking it into four or eight sections that can be run in parallel. Moreover, the arithmetic complexity has been significantly reduced. Based on the proposed new algorithm for DCT IV, the speed performance has been improved substantially. The performance of this algorithm was verified using two different GPU systems produced by the NVIDIA company. The experimental results show that the novel proposed DCT algorithm achieves an impressive reduction in the total processing time. The proposed method is very efficient, improving the algorithm speed by more than 4-times—that was expected by segmenting the DCT algorithm into four sections running in parallel. The speed improvements are about five-times higher—at least 5.41 on Jetson AGX Xavier, and 10.11 on Jetson Orin Nano—if we compare with the classical implementation (based on a sequential approach) of DCT IV. Using a parallel formulation with eight sections running in parallel, the improvement in speed performance is even higher, at least 8.08-times on Jetson AGX Xavier and 11.81-times on Jetson Orin Nano.

For system identification problems associated with long-length impulse responses, the recently developed decomposition-based technique that relies on a third-order tensor (TOT) framework represents a reliable choice. It is based on a combination of three shorter filters, which merge their estimates in tandem with the Kronecker product. In this way, the global impulse response is modeled in a more efficient manner, with a significantly reduced parameter space (i.e., fewer coefficients). In this paper, we further develop a Kalman filter based on the TOT decomposition method. As compared to the recently designed recursive least-squares (RLS) counterpart, the proposed Kalman filter achieves superior performance in terms of the main criteria (e.g., tracking and accuracy). In addition, it significantly outperforms the conventional Kalman filter, while also having a lower computational complexity. Simulation results obtained in the context of echo cancellation support the theoretical framework and the related advantages. Full article
