چکیده

We investigated different parallel SIMD (single instruction multiple data) architectures based on pure programmable and reconfigurable approaches for their appropriateness for integration in an one chip high speed CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) camera. Our goal is to combine parallel signal detection and parallel signal processing in one chip. By a logic synthesis we show that a reconfigurable combinatorial circuit based on morphological operations is superior for our purpose. Further we describe briefly how a such system can be expanded towards a self-organizing system.

1 ATLAS Pixel Opto - Electronics

We have developed two radiation-hard ASICs for optical data transmission in the ATLAS pixel detector at the LHC at CERN: a driver chip for a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) diode for 80 Mbit/s data transmission from the detector, and a Bi-Phase Mark decoder chip to recover the control data and 40 MHz clock received optically by a PIN diode. We have successfully implemented both A...

A heterogeneous reconfigurable System-on-Chip: MORPHEUS

The exponential increase of CMOS circuit complexity along the last decades has lead to two growing problems. The increasing Non-recurring Engineering (NRE) costs of ASICs or System-on-Chips are becoming only affordable to the highest volume applications. Additionally the design methodologies have not kept pace with the rising complexity leading to a rising design productivity gap. Research into...

New approach for calibration of pixelated scintillation detectors of intraoperative gamma cameras

Introduction:SURGEOSIGHT is a dedicated intra-operative hand-held gamma camera designed and manufactured by our team to be used for lymphoscintigraphy. Although conventional gamma cameras are widely used, they lack the capability of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) imaging in the operation room. Like conventional gamma cameras it is necessary to calibrate SURGEOSIGHT for linearity...

Comparing Computing

Reconfigurable computing devices are emerging as a viable alternative to fixed-function components and programmable processors. To expand our knowledge of the role and optimization of these devices, it is increasingly imperative for us to compare implementations of tasks and subroutines across this wide spectrum of implementation options. The fact that most processors, FPGAs, ASICs, and memorie...
