| Jeff Bier's Impulse Response - Signal Processing Isn't a Commodity |
By Jeff Bier, 2/14/2007
At the Consumer Electronics Show last month I was struck (not for the first time) by the number of consumer electronics products that rely on digital signal processing—at this point, nearly all of them. In fact, so many of today's products incorporate digital signal processing-based functions that it's tempting to start viewing these functions as commodities.

| Case Study – Optimizing Presentations, Products, and Plans |
By BDTI, 2/22/2006
Top-notch marketing presentations are key to convincing customers, investors, and others that a product is attractive and viable. Effective presentations combine clear, convincing technical information with a compelling marketing message—a difficult combination to achieve. Of course, even snappy presentations only go so far; vendors also need solid products and well-thought-out strategies.

| Jeff Bier’s Impulse Response – Bamboozling with Benchmarks, Part 1 |
By Jeff Bier, 2/22/2006
Good benchmarks play an essential role in evaluating processing engines. Unfortunately, benchmarks are often misused, creating confusion and mistrust. Most people don't set out to use benchmark results deceptively; they may simply be unaware of benchmarking pitfalls. To keep from falling into these traps, we've created our Top Ten list of ways in which benchmarks are abused.

| Jeff Bier’s Impulse Response – Making Benchmarks Useful |
By Jeff Bier, 7/13/2005
A few weeks ago I participated in a panel discussion on
benchmarking. The theme of the panel was how to benchmark
multi-threaded and multi-core processors. In my view, this theme
highlights a key problem with many benchmark approaches: too many
benchmarks are designed to exercise hardware features, rather than to
provide information that system developers need.
