Abstract of the Talk:

VLSI technology is changing very fast towards and rapid developments

are taking place. The concept of next generation network is also to
integrate the different types of communication technologies and signal
processing through VLSI. With the increasing demand it is very
essential to get the know how of the VLSI technology for signal
processing and communication systems with ensured quality of service.
Digital signal processing (DSP) applications are becoming more
prevalent in everyday use. Because of this widespread usage and
advances in computer technology, the DSP algorithms themselves are
being subjected to more demanding specifications. There is a constant
need for designing VLSI based systems with lower power, higher speed,
and lower area. There is a need for developing new algorithms,
architectures, techniques, and design tools. This technical-talk
focuses on VLSI CAD tools for communication system design. The tools
allow for rapid algorithm development using a functional model library
and scripting procedures that automate iterative optimization of
algorithm parameters. Implementation tools are linked into the
algorithm design environment to allow efficiency in generating
hardware designs from algorithm descriptions.
