TLDR
Based on the systolic array approach, new designs of special-purpose devices for filtering, correlation, convolution, and discrete Fourier transform are proposed and discussed and it is argued that because of high degrees of simplicity, regularity and concurrency inherent to these designs, their VLSI implementation will be cost effective.

Some complexity issues in digital signal processing

TL;DR: The theory discriminates between tractable and intractable problems, Sometimes identifies fast algorithms for the former, and justifies heuristics for the latter, and illustrates the usefulness of asymptotic complexity theory in the field of digital signal processing.

Systolic (VLSI) arrays for relational database operations

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of VLSI technology to perform relational database operations directly in hardware is proposed, such as intersection, remove-duplicates, union, join and division, which can all be pipelined elegantly and efficiently on networks of processors having an array structure.
