How Is The Advising Professor Involved?

Each of the participating design teams must include one advising professor and that professor must agree to all the rules of the contest.  An advising professor at any university may assist more than one design team; however, the efforts of that professor may not interfere with any ongoing commitments with the university or present a conflict of interest between teams.  The advising professors and any students on contract with their university are responsible for obtaining any necessary clearance or approval from their academic institution for participation in contest activities.

The advising professor for the worldwide grand-prize winning team will receive a cash prize of US$15,000 and an offer to work at Texas Instruments for a six-month sabbatical program with the TI TMS320 DSP Product Group located in Houston, Texas, U.S.A.  Such offer is subject to (1) negotiation of the terms and conditions of employment by TI and the advising professor, (2) all TI standard employment conditions, and (3) all applicable immigration regulations.

How are the prizes awarded?

Teams compete and winners are selected among those qualifying entries and design submissions for their region (first round), territory (second round/semi-final) and worldwide (grand prize/final).  The team with the highest score each round wins.

Each of the first-round, second-round (semi-final), and third-round (grand prize) winners will be notified directly by Texas Instruments Incorporated and be announced at its sponsoring headquarters in Houston, Texas, U.S.A.  TI may also choose to announce publicly winners and prize awards at other times and places. In addition, TI reserves the right to publish the names of all winners in appropriate publications in their respective countries.  Any such other announcements required by law shall be made. 

The first-round winners will be notified by February 29, 1996, the second-round, semi-final winners by March 31, 1996, and the worldwide grand-prize winner by May 9, 1996.

How will the contest designs be judged?

Winners will be chosen based upon three criteria:  (1) merit of the design; (2) difficulty level of the design; and (3)  education level of the team members.  All designs must meet contest criteria, including use of a TI TMS320 DSP.

MERIT:
	
The Merit Score will be based upon the applicability of the design to industry needs and overall design eloquence and feasibility based on a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being highest).

The following criteria indicate how the teams Merit Score will be calculated:

	Your design should be inventive, unique and novel.

	Your design should be practical and repeatable.

	Your design should be a useful application.

	Your design should work.
	
The judges will not have access to the Education Level factor or the Difficulty Level value when determining the Merit Score.
	
DIFFICULTY LEVEL:
	
Upon receipt of the entry form, TI will assign a Difficulty Level to the design on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being most difficult) based upon the description of the design provided with the entry form.  These assignments will be made by a panel of Texas Instruments product and applications engineers.  The list of possible design ideas below gives assigned Difficulty Levels and indicates how Difficulty Levels could be determined.  Team members will receive notice of the assigned Difficulty Level for their designs within thirty (30) days after submitting their entry form. 

The following criteria indicate how the team's design Difficulty Level will be determined:

	Solutions to existing industry problems.

	Applications lack of practical solutions.

	Significant improvement over existing application solutions.

	Completely new applications.

	

EDUCATION LEVEL OF TEAM:
	
The contest is weighted to encourage participation of students of varying levels of education.  Each team will be assigned an average education factor as indicated below.  The point assignments will be determined based upon the student status of each team member, as of June 30, 1995.  Team members will be notified of the assigned Education Level factor within thirty (30) days after submitting their entry form.
	
		3 points per university undergraduate team member
		2 points per masters candidate team member
		1 point per Ph.D. candidate team member
	
	
How will scores be determined?

The winning team is that team which has the highest score after multiplying the value of each of the three criteria.

SCORE CALCULATION:

	MERIT SCORE x DIFFICULTY LEVEL x EDUCATION LEVEL =  TOTAL SCORE

EXAMPLE:  A Ph.D. candidate, two Masters candidates and two undergraduates compose one team.  TI assigns a Difficulty Level of 3 to their design.  The Education Level Factor for the team is 2.2 [(1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3)/5 = 2.2].  The design receives a Merit Score of 7 from the contest judges.  The team's total score is 3 * 2.2 * 7 = 46.2 
	
	OR
	
EXAMPLE:  Three Ph.D. candidates compose one team.  TI assigns a Difficulty Level of 4 to their design.  The Education Level factor is 1 [(1 + 1 + 1)/3 = 1].  The design receives a Merit Score of 10 from the contest judges.  The team's total score is 4 * 1 * 10 = 40.

WHAT KIND OF DESIGNS?

Any hardware or software system which uses a TI TMS320 digital signal processor.  
  
Here are a few ideas* to get you started:

A high speed C5x/UART+memory interface with performance benchmarks and code.  Difficulty level 1.

Design hardware to interface C3x's to MVIP bus.  Difficulty level 2.

Design a multiprocessing communications and debug kernel for the C4x.  Difficulty level 3.

Use a DSP as a programmable high performance CCD camera controller.  Difficulty level 3.

A high speed C5x/FIFO interface with performance benchmarks and code.  Difficulty level 3.

A sound muffling headset such as that worn by ramp workers at an airport, add micro phones and speaker(s), software, and interface that cancel all outside noises except human voice and emergency vehicle sirens.  Difficulty level 4.

A motor mounted on a platform such as an aluminum table, add the necessary sensors, DSP board, and actuators to effectively eliminate the vibration of the platform.  Difficulty level 5.

An efficient Viterbi decoder for V.34 modem standard. S/W implementation requires use of a TMS320C5x class DSP.  Difficulty level 5.

*  Please note that these suggested applications are for example only, and no preference for these particular suggestions will be given during judging.
