This study is for the purpose of identifying the flow of internal downward communication and its effectiveness in a particular large industry, Texas Instruments Incorporated. Specifically, the following questions are examined in this study: (1) Has information which has been sent down by top management been spread to all levels, and is it being understood? (2) Are employees at all levels receiving the information they desire and sometimes need for their work? (3) For different types of subject matter, what channels are being used to transmit messages down the system, and are they effective mediums?

This thesis is a close textual analysis of three videotapes produced at Texas Instruments. The first chapter outlines the background of corporate video and some of the methods used in the analysis. Chapter II discusses the origins of televisual conventions and traces their migration to the corporate sector's video production efforts. Chapter III is the analysis of three videotapes produced at Texas Instruments. Chapter IV contains conclusions and discussion of the findings, including how cultural myths are articulated and produced, The appendix contains freeze frame examples of the shows analyzed and representative frames from Father Knows Best and The Donna Reed Show for use as a basis of comparison.

This diploma thesis discusses the implementation of a GCC target for the Texas Instruments TMS320C6000 DSP platform. To this end, it makes use of mechanisms offered by GCC for porting to new target architectures. GCC internals such as the handling of conditional jumps and the layout of stack frames are investigated and applied to the new architecture. / Diese Diplomarbeit behandelt die Implementierung eines GCC-Targets für die DSP-Plattform TMS320C6000 von Texas Instruments. Dazu werden Mechanismen genutzt, die GCC für die Portierung auf neue Zielplattformen anbietet. GCC-Interna, wie die Behandlung bedingter Sprünge und das Layout von Stack-Frames, werden untersucht und auf die neue Architektur angewendet.

This diploma thesis discusses the applicability of GCC optimization algorithms for the TI TMS320C6x processor family. Conditional and Parallel Execution is used to speed up the resulting code. It describes the optimization framework of the GCC version 4.0 and the implementation details. / Diese Diplomarbeit behandelt die Anwendbarkeit der verschiedenen GCC Optimierungsalgorithmen für die TI TMS320C6x Prozessorfamilie. Bedingte und parallele Ausführbarkeit werden zur Beschleunigung eingesetzt. Sie beschreibt den Rahmen in dem die Optimierungen in Version 4.0 des GCC stattfinden und Details zur Implementierung.
