A Synthesis System For Bus-Based Wavefront Array Architectures
نویسندگان
چکیده
A datapath synthesis system (DPSS) for a bus-based wavefront array architecture, called rDPA (reconfigurable datapath architecture), is presented. An internal data bus to the array simplifies the access of the processing elements for data manipulations. The DPSS allows automatic mapping of high level datapath structures onto the rDPA without manual interaction. Optimization techniques are sketched. The rDPA is scalable to arbitrarily large arrays and reconfigurable to be adaptable to the computational problem. Fine grained parallelism is achieved by using simple reconfigurable processing elements which are called datapath units (DPUs). The rDPA can be used as a reconfigurable ALU in transport-triggered architectures as well as for rapid prototyping of high speed datapaths.

A Novel Multiply-Accumulator Unit Bus Encoding Architecture for Image Processing Applications
In the CMOS circuit power dissipation is a major concern for VLSI functional units. With shrinking feature size, increased frequency and power dissipation on the data bus have become the most important factor compared to other parts of the functional units. One of the most important functional units in any processor is the Multiply-Accumulator unit (MAC). The current work focuses on the develop...

A reconfigurable wavefront array rDPA (reconfigurable datapath architecture) for evaluation of any arithmetic and logic expression is presented. Introducing a global I/O bus to the array simplifies the use as a coprocessor in a single bus oriented processor system. Fine grained parallelism is achieved using simple reconfigurable processing elements which are called datapath units (DPUs). The wo...

In this paper, for the first time to our knowledge, we investigate the optical bi-stability in a compact parallel array of micro- ring resonators with 5μm radius, induced by optical nonlinearity. Due to the nature of perfect light confinement, resonance and accumulation process in a ring resonator, optical nonlinear effects, even at small optical power of a few milliwatts in this structure are ...

متن کاملAutomated Synthesis of Bus Architectures for Systems with Throughput Constraints ∗
As System-on-Chip (SoC) designs become more complex, it becomes increasingly harder to design communication architectures which satisfy designer constraints. Manually traversing the vast communication design space for constraint-driven synthesis is not feasible anymore. In this report we propose an approach that automates the synthesis of bus-based communication architectures for systems charac...
