Win $100,000 in TI's DSP Contest

  • 12/01/96

Texas Instruments will hold its 1997 DSP Solutions Challenge, which brings together university students from all over the world to develop new or innovative products utilizing digital signal processors (DSPs). A grand prize of $100,000 will be divided among members of the winning team. 

A DSP is 10 to 50 times more powerful than other CPUs in handling mass-intensive tasks, enabling data to be processed in real time. The competition entry requires an original TMS320 DSP-based design that must operate as a functional application. 

The 1995 Challenge received 230 entries from over 700 students in 26 countries. Two students from Singapore's Nanyang Technological University shared the $100,000 grand prize for their design of a video restoration system that could take old, poor-quality films and digitally clean them for archiving and re-release. 

TI plans to place the resumes of all participating students into a database service for prospective employers. Texas Instruments, Semiconductor Group, Denver, CO, (800) 477-8924, x4500, www.ti.com/sc/dsp_challenge.
