Xilinx Next Generation 28 nm FPGA Technology Overview
Xilinx has chosen 28 nm high-κ metal gate (HKMG) highperformance,low-power process technology and combined it with a new unified ASMBL™ architecture to create a new generation of FPGAs that offer lower power and higher performance. These devices enable unprecedented levels of integration and bandwidth and provide system architects and designers a fully programmable alternative to ASSPs and ASICs.
在現(xiàn)代通信系統(tǒng)中，電話語音的頻帶被限制在300 Hz～4 kHz的范圍內(nèi)，帶來了語音可懂度和自然度的降低。為了在不增加額外成本的前提下提高語音的可懂度和自然度，進(jìn)行了電話語音頻帶擴(kuò)展的研究。提出了一種改進(jìn)的基于碼本映射的語音帶寬擴(kuò)展算法：在碼本映射的過程中，使用加權(quán)系數(shù)來得到映射碼本。客觀測試結(jié)果表明，用此算法得到的寬帶語音的譜失真度比用一般的碼本映射降低至少2%。主觀測試結(jié)果表明，用此算法得到的寬帶語音具有更好的可懂度和自然度。
Abstract:
In modern communication systems， the bandwidth of telephone speech is limited from 300Hz to 4 kHz， which reduces the intelligibility and naturalness of speech. Telephone speech bandwidth extension is researched to get wideband speech and to improve its intelligibility and naturalness， without increasing extra costs. This paper put forward an improved algorithm of speech bandwidth extension based on codebook mapping. In the process of codebook mapping， weighted coefficients were used to get mapping codebook. Objective tests show that spectral distortion of wideband speech obtained by this algorithm reduces at least 2%， comparing to conditional codebook mapping. Subjective tests show that the wideband speech obtained by this algorithm has better intelligibility and naturalness.

Xilinx UltraScale:The Next-Generation Architecture for Your Next-Generation Architecture
The Xilinx® UltraScale™ architecture delivers unprecedented levels of integration and capability with ASIC-class system- level performance for the most demanding applications.
The UltraScale architecture is the industr y's f irst application of leading-edge ASIC architectural enhancements in an All Programmable architecture that scales from 20 nm planar through 16 nm FinFET technologies and beyond, in addition to scaling from monolithic through 3D ICs. Through analytical co-optimization with the X ilinx V ivado® Design Suite, the UltraScale architecture provides massive routing capacity while intelligently resolving typical bottlenecks in ways never before possible. This design synergy achieves greater than 90% utilization with no performance degradation.
Some of the UltraScale architecture breakthroughs include:
• Strategic placement (virtually anywhere on the die) of ASIC-like system clocks, reducing clock skew by up to 50%
• Latency-producing pipelining is virtually unnecessary in systems with massively parallel bus architecture, increasing system speed and capability
• Potential timing-closure problems and interconnect bottlenecks are eliminated, even in systems requiring 90% or more resource utilization
• 3D IC integration makes it possible to build larger devices one process generation ahead of the current industr y standard
• Greatly increased system performance, including multi-gigabit serial transceivers, I/O, and memor y bandwidth is available within even smaller system power budgets
• Greatly enhanced DSP and packet handling
The Xilinx UltraScale architecture opens up whole new dimensions for designers of ultra-high-capacity solutions.
This application note describes how the existing dual-port block memories in the Spartan™-IIand Virtex™ families can be used as Quad-Port memories. This essentially involves a dataaccess time (halved) versus functionality (doubled) trade-off. The overall bandwidth of the blockmemory in terms of bits per second will remain the same.
