November Meeting Notice

November 2003 Meeting Notice






    
 Subject:

  		 
    
Audio and Modern DSPs

  
 Speaker: Sami Saab, Analog Devices 


 Place: Cogswell College, Room 197, Sunnyvale 


 Time and Date: November 25th, 7:30 PM (refreshments at 7:00 PM) 



Floating Point DSPs are used extensively in digital audio.
They offer the sophistication of floating-point mathematics, tight memory
integration, high performance and human friendly development environments. 


The main architectural features of Analog Devices floating
point DSPs will be discussed. Three algorithms the author has developed will be
discussed – 


    
  
  •  an efficient algorithm for approximating
    non-linear functions, 
    • 
  
  •  a wavelet based interpolator 
    • 
  
  •  a sampling reverb. 
    • 



There will be several DSP evaluation boards available
demonstrating the interpolator and the sampling reverb.


Sami Saab graduated with a M.A.Sc. from the University of
Victoria in 1999. Sami has held positions with Nortel and Faustus Scientific
working with DSPs before joining Analog Devices as a DSP Field Application
Engineer in 2002.
