Special Issue on Signal Processing on Platforms with Multiple Cores:
Part 2 -- Design and Applications
Multi-core processors are now prevalent everywhere from desktops and
graphics processors to laptops and embedded systems. It is clear that
signal processing systems of tomorrow will be (and must be)
implemented on platforms with multiple cores. Signal processing
algorithm designers must understand the nuances of a multi-core
computing engine, only then can the tremendous computing power that
such platforms provide be harnessed efficiently.
This special issue is a follow-up of an earlier special issue on
general trends, overview and design methodologies for signal
processing on systems with multiple cores that will appear in the Nov
2009 issue of the IEEE Signal Processing magazine. The intention of
this special issue is to attract tutorial-style papers on (1) novel
applications that can be enabled by platform with multiple cores, and
(2) design examples of signal processing on platforms with multiple
cores that demonstrate the techniques or algorithm changes for
efficient implementations. Possible topical areas include, but are not
limited to, the following topics.
===Scope of topics===
1. Audio, speech and language processing.
2. Image, video and multimedia signal processing
3. Biomedical signal processing and bioinformatics
4. Wireless communications and networking
5. Sensing and sensor signal processing
6. Machine language for signal processing
7. Information forensics, security and cryptography
If possible, please make sure the work applicable to a broad scope,
e.g., (1) optimized implementations on multiple multi-core platforms,
(2) implementation of multiple algorithms, or (3) scalable
implementation s that are applicable to more than tens or even
hundreds of cores.
===Submission Procedure===
Prospective authors should submit proposals/manuscripts to the web
submission system at http://www.ee.columbia.edu/spm/ according to the
following timetable.
The authors should first submit a proposal that summarizes the key
takeaway messages ("What can the reader learn from the paper?"), the
motivation ("Why should a reader read the paper?"), the significance
of the topic ("Why is this topic important?"), a brief history ("What
is the related work?"), and the outline of the content ("What do you
plan to write in the full manuscript?"). The authors should properly
answer all the questions above so that the proposal can be reviewed
efficiently.
Please be aware that the importance of multi-core platforms will be
addressed in the Nov's special issue and thus please avoid redundancy
in your proposal. The proposal should be no more than 2 pages in the
IEEE single-space double-column format.
