چکیده

This paper describes how a reconfigurable computing engine can be used to accelerate DTP functions. We show how PostScript rendering can be accelerated using a commercially available FPGA co-processor card. Our method relies on dynamically swapping in pre-computed circuits to accelerate the compute intensive portions of PostScript rendering .

Implementation of VlSI Based Image Compression Approach on Reconfigurable Computing System - A Survey

Image data require huge amounts of disk space and large bandwidths for transmission. Hence, imagecompression is necessary to reduce the amount of data required to represent a digital image. Thereforean efficient technique for image compression is highly pushed to demand. Although, lots of compressiontechniques are available, but the technique which is faster, memory efficient and simple, surely...

Accelerating a Software Radio Astronomy Correlator using FPGA co-processors

Introduction This poster presents and characterises our work on accelerating a software radio astronomy correlator using reconfigurable computing (RC) hardware. Radio astronomy correlation is an embarrassingly parallel signal processing application, which is used heavily in radio astronomy for imaging and other astronomical measurements. Radio astronomy correlators typically operate on huge dat...
