I am interested in two things. 1) information about the FASTEC AT&T DSP32 board 2) experiences and applications that other users have implemented with DSP boards and/or with array coprocessor boards. Fastec is a company out of Boulder CO. and sent me a flier about their board which uses the AT&T DSP32 chip. They have software available to compile BASIC commands into DSP32 microcode. Is the software any good? What knids of things can I do with such a beastie? Our research group studies the mechanics of the cochlea (inner ear) and run a model of the cochlea consisting of 100-1000 fluid coupled nonlinear VanderPol oscillators. Our code is essentially a timestep simulation which alternates between solving with backsubstitution a matrix of the displacements to get the pressure at each site along the cochlea, and then feeding these pressures into a 2nd order diff eq. to get the next set of displacements and velocities. Please e-mail your responses. I AM interested in your experience with any of the coprocessor boards whether they are DSP or not. thanks Bill Murphy murphy@newton.physics.purdue.edu
