QUKU: A Fast Run Time Reconfigurable Platform for Image Edge Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
To fill the gap between increasing demand for reconfigurability and performance efficiency, CGRAs are seen to be an emerging platform. In this paper, a new architecture, QUKU, is described which uses a coarse-grained reconfigurable PE array (CGRA) overlaid on an FPGA. The low-speed reconfigurability of the FPGA is used to optimize the CGRA for different applications, whilst the high-speed CGRA reconfiguration is used within an application for operator re-use. We will demonstrate the dynamic reconfigurability of QUKU by porting Sobel and Laplacian kernel for edge detection in an image frame.

Modular Video Streaming on a Reconfigurable Platform
We present an efficient implementation of a video streaming application on a well suited reconfigurable platform, the Erlangen Slot Machine (ESM) for partial reconfiguration. The architecture of the video streaming is investigated to derive the requirements that should be fulfilled by a viable partial reconfigurable platform. Various edge detection methods are implemented on the same structure ...
متن کاملQUKU: A Coarse Grained Paradigm for FPGA
To fill the gap between increasing demand for reconfigurability and performance efficiency, coarse grain reconfigurable architectures are seen to be an emerging platform. The advantage lies in quick dynamic reconfiguration and power efficiency. Despite having these advantages they have failed to show their mark. This paper describes the QUKU architecture, which uses a coarsegrained dynamically ...
متن کاملSobel Edge Detection implementation using FPGA
Edge detection is an important tool in digital image processing applications for extracting information from image. Sobel operator based edge detection algorithm creates an image which highlights edges and transitions. In real-time image processing applications, it is required to process large data of pixels in a given timing constraints. Hence, speed of image processing is a big problem. Recon...
