House health bill unacceptable to many in Senate- Don't look for the Senate to quickly follow the House on health care overhaul.
Resolute Fort Hood soldiers ready for return- Pvt. Joseph Foster took a bullet in the leg during the Fort Hood shooting rampage. He pauses when he's asked about the mayhem, then credits a stout heritage with bringing him through the ordeal and leaving him eager for his scheduled January deployment to Afghanistan.
Terror training camps smaller, harder to target- Under growing pressure from U.S. missile strikes, the al-Qaida terror network is relying more heavily on local insurgent groups along the Pakistan border to house training camps that are growing smaller and more mobile, according to counterterrorism officials and analysts.
Hurricane warnings for US Gulf Coast for Ida- Hurricane Ida chugged toward the Gulf Coast, and despite warnings extending more than 200 miles across several states, residents seemed to take the first Atlantic hurricane to target the U.S. this season in stride.

Designers can use the new kit to accelerate their development of high-speed video systems for cost sensitive applications including machine vision, multimedia set top box, endoscope, portable ultrasound, automotive driver assistance and other systems that require low-cost and high-DSP performance. The video development kit is part of the Xilinx XtremeDSP solution that also includes the XtremeDSP Starter Kit - Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Edition also announced today.
"Complex video systems that target FPGAs often include a combination of
both DSP and embedded processing," said
Video processing performance requirements in markets such as surveillance
are increasing beyond the capabilities of a traditional DSP processor. FPGAs
can be used in these applications as co-processors to offload performance
critical processing operations or as standalone video processing engines. The
parallel computing nature of the FPGA fabric supports much higher sampling
rates and more data throughput than a standard digital signal processor,
delivering 3 to 4x the performance along with better computational power
efficiency. The fabric of the Spartan-3A DSP family is optimized for DSP and
delivers industry-leading cost/performance of 20 billion multiply-accumulates
per second (GMACS) for under
The XtremeDSP Video Starter Kit - Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Edition includes video specific IP including a new Video Frame Buffer Controller (VFBC), three reference designs to help accelerate development, software drivers, and hardware interface support for the various I/O interfaces. This IP coupled with Spartan-3A DSP 3400A FPGA development board, cables, VGA camera and FMC-video I/O module that supports DVI input, single channel in and out composite, S-video in and out, and dual camera interfaces. The kit also comes complete with System Generator for DSP and the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit (EDK). System Generator for DSP enables the use of The Mathworks Simulink(R) and MATLAB(R) modeling environment for FPGA design. The EDK is an all-encompassing solution for designing embedded programmable systems. EDK includes the Platform Studio tools suite, embedded IP cores and the Xilinx(R) MicroBlaze(TM) embedded processor.
