Get ready for the 1997 DSP Solutions ChallengeDSP design contest offers $100,000 grand prizeTexas Instruments is accepting applications for its 1997 DSP Solutions Challenge, a worldwide, project-based competition with a grand prize of U.S. $100,000. The contest entry requires an original TMS320 Digital Signal Processing (DSP) design, which must operate as a functional application, and an original software program (if applicable) to be submitted to TI. The '97 contest is open to full-time university students 18 years of age or older at the undergraduate, graduate or Ph.D. level. Abstracts are due by May 31, 1997, and final projects are due October 31, 1997. Grand prize is U.S. $100,000 with a finalist prize and semi-final prizes awarded at U.S. $10,000 and U.S. $1,000 respectively. The advising professor of the grand-prize winning team also receives U.S. $15,000 and a six-month sabbatical with TI DSP. Resumes of participants automatically will be submitted to the DSP Talent data base service. This free service provides prospective employers with resumes of students with DSP experience who can fill summer, co-op and full-time positions. The '95 Challenge, the first-ever worldwide contest of its kind, received entries from more than 230 teams representing more than 700 students in 26 countries. The grand-prize-winning entry was from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. It featured TMS320C4x DSPs used in a motion picture film restoration system.
