Power-Efficient Tightly-Coupled Processor Arrays for Digital Signal Processing

LoopInvader: A Compiler for Tightly Coupled Processor Arrays

Continuous technology miniaturization allows to build massively parallel embedded computer architectures within a single silicon chip. Programming that leverages the abundant parallelism in such architectures, however, is very difficult, tedious, and error-prone. Thus, compiler support is paramount. We therefore present LoopInvader, a loop compiler for a particular class of massively parallel p...

Mapping of Hierarchically Partitioned Regular Algorithms onto Processor Arrays

In the last decade, there has been a dramatic growth in research and development of massively parallel processor arrays both in academia and industry. The processor array architectures provide an optimal platform for parallel execution of number crunching loop programs from fields of digital signal processing, image processing, linear algebra, etc. However due to lack of mapping tools, these ma...

Temperature modeling and emulation of an ASIC temperature monitor system for Tightly-Coupled Processor Arrays (TCPAs)

This contribution provides an approach for emulating the behaviour of an ASIC temperature monitoring system (TMon) during run-time for a tightly-coupled processor array (TCPA) of a heterogeneous invasive multi-tile architecture to be used for FPGA prototyping. It is based on a thermal RC modeling approach. Also different usage scenarios of TCPA are analyzed and compared.

Mapping Irregular Parallel Algorithms in Vlsi Processor Arrays Mapping Irregular Parallel Algorithms in Vlsi Processor Arrays ?

The paper presents an overwiev of our recent research of parallel algorithm mapping. We consider the mapping of irregularly structured algorithms in VLSI processor arrays. Although architectural improvements may contribute to the mapping eeciency, the area of mapping techniques is a more likely source for improvements. Therefore, we discused the following topics: optimization of mappings with s...
