چکیده
This paper presents new mappings of 2D and 3D geometrical transformation on the MorphoSys (M1) reconfigurable computing (RC) prototype [2]. This improves the system performance as a graphics accelerator [1-5]. Three algorithms are mapped including two for calculating 2D transformations, and one for 3D transformations. The results presented indicate an improved performance. The speedup achieved is explained as well as the advantages in the mapping of the application. The transformations on an 8x8 RC array were run, and numerical examples were simulated to validate our results, using the MorphoSys mULATE program, which simulates MorphoSys operations. Comparisons with other systems are presented, namely, with Intel processing systems and Celoxica RC-1000 FPGA.

Architectural Modifications for Optimizing Mappings on Morphosys RC-System
This paper presents architectural modifications to the reconfigurable part of MorphoSys, a reconfigurable computing (RC) system [2], which improves system performance [1-6]. RC is introduced, followed by the MorphoSys (M1) RC system. Moreover, two algorithms are mapped to the system based on the enhanced interconnection scheme and ALU complexity. The algorithms include a computer graphics accel...
متن کاملDynamic 2D/3D Registration
Image and geometry registration algorithms are an essential component of many computer graphics and computer vision systems. With recent technological advances in RGB-D sensors, such as the Microsoft Kinect or Asus Xtion Live, robust algorithms that combine 2D image and 3D geometry registration have become an active area of research. The goal of this course is to introduce the basics of 2D/3D r...
متن کاملA Genetic Algorithm based Optimization Method in 3D Solid Reconstruction from 2D Multi-View Engineering Drawings
There are mainly two categories for a 3D reconstruction from 2D drawings: B-Rep and CSG that both these methods have serious weaknesses despite being useful. B-Rep method which has been older and have wider function range is problematic because of high volume of calculations and vagueness in answers and CSG method has problem in terms of very limited range of volumes and drawings that it can an...
متن کاملThree-dimensional surface texture synthesis
Texture synthesis has been extensively investigated by both computer vision and computer graphics communities during the past twenty years. However, the input and output are normally 2D intensity texture images. If the subjects are 3D surface textures (such as brick, woven or knitted textiles, embossed wallpapers etc.), these 2D synthesis techniques cannot provide the information required for r...
متن کاملMorphoSys: a Reconfigurable Architecture Optimized for Ray Tracing
This paper describes a new generation of MorphoSys, a s ystem-on-chip that incorporates hardware, supports to achieve interactive ray tracing. It has a matrix of 8x8 SIMD reconfigurable cells (RCs) to facilitate different mapping schemes. We have identified the ray tracing mapping scheme with a good trade-off between speed, power, and bandwidth requirement. A pseudo branch mechanism and local R...
