NU-SpECS (NU-Tech Speech Engine with CUDA Support) project aims to acquire new DSP technologies in order to improve Leaff's NU-Tech Framework. In particular NVIDIA® CUDA technology and ALIZE Speech Engine Toolkit have been selected. NU-SpECS is a 16 months project and started on February 2009. Politecnico di Milano (Italy) and University of Avignon et des Pays de Vaucluse (France) have been involved together with two young PhD students.
NU-Tech modular architecture let integration process of third party technologies easy and straightforward. Two main technologies have been selected to be integrated in NU-Tech. The technology transfer process have been selected in order to realize the objectives of the project: two different international scientific partners with established skills and knowledge on these particular technologies have been involved.
Objectives
- Creating a CUDA compliant functions library for NU-Tech
- Creating CUDA NUTSs: NU-Tech satellites whose computational tasks would be managed by the GPU through CUDA technology
- Creating a logical layer able to interpret code written for CUDA
- Developing a NU-Tech Audio Toolbox for Speech applications with future support for DSP easy porting (AD SHARC/BLACKFIN)
- Leaff Engineering
- Politecnico di Milano (Italy)
- University of Avignon et des Pays de Vaucluse (France)
