Title:  Software Defined Radios, New Communication Processor Architectures
Speaker:  M. Morf, CSL, morf@arith.stanford.edu

Place:    CS Building, Gates B08.   Note new room!

Abstract:

   First, the EE385b Seminar topic this spring will be motivated: 
Multi-Media and Communication Processor Architectures.  Ruby Lee agreed 
to present two talks on Multi-Media Processors later in this semester.
   The need for "New Communication Processor Architectures"
will then be discussed, or what lies ahead -- "Beyond MMX"?
Deeply pipelined, higly parallel, fine-grained machines? 
FPGA based computing? Darpa's Ultra Computers?
   As a concrete example of things to come, Software Defined Radios 
will be discussed, such as Multi-Mode, Multi-Service Cell Phones, or 
Darpa's GLOMO project, and Speakeasy.
   One of the more pressing issues is communication security 
("Its a radio stupid!").  Software defined radios enable new forms 
of security (and new pitfalls).
