FiPRe: An Implementation Model to Enable Self-Reconfigurable Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
ASIPs and reconfigurable processors are architectural choices to extend the capabilities of a given processor. ASIPs suffer from fixed hardware after design, while ASIPs and reconfigurable processors suffer from the lack of a pre-established instruction set, making them difficult to program. As intermediate choice, reconfigurable coprocessors systems (RCSs) contain dedicated hardware (coprocessors) coupled to a standard processor core to accelerate specific tasks, allowing inserting or substituting hardware functionalities at execution time. This paper proposes a generic model for RCSs, targeted to reconfigurable devices with self-reconfiguration capabilities. A proof-of-concept case study is presented as well.

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...

Computational photography applications such as lightfield photography [1] enable capture and synthesis of images that could not be captured with a traditional camera. Non-linear filtering techniques like bilateral filtering [2] form a significant part of computational photography. These techniques have a wide range of applications, including High-Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging [3], LowLight Enhanc...
متن کاملDynamic Hardware Development
Applications that leverage the dynamic partial reconfigurability of modern FPGAs are few, owing in large part to the lack of suitable tools and techniques to create them. While the trend in digital design is towards higher levels of design abstractions, forgoing hardware description languages in some cases for high-level languages, the development of a reconfigurable design requires developers ...
