For a vector $$\overline x $$ = [x[0], x[1], ....., x[7]], the 8-point discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is denoted by $$\overline X $$ = DFT($$\overline x $$) = [X[0], X[1], ....., X[7]], where

$$X[k] = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^7 {x[n]\exp \left( { - j{{2\pi } \over 8}nk} \right)} $$.

Here, $$j = \sqrt { - 1} $$. If $$\overline x $$ = [1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0] and $$\overline y $$ = DFT (DFT($$\overline x $$)), then the value of y[0] is __________ (rounded off to one decimal place).

A continuous-time speech signal $${x_a}(t)$$ is sampled at a rate of 8 kHz and the samples are subsequently grouped in blocks, each of size N. The DFT of each block is to be computed in real time using the radix-2 decimation-in-frequency FFT algorithm. If the processor performs all operations sequentially, and takes 20 µs for computing each complex multiplication (including multiplications by 1 and −1) and the time required for addition/ subtraction is negligible, then the maximum value of N is __________.
