One near constant that you have been seeing in the pages of The Next Platform is that the downside of having a slowing rate at which the speed of new processors is increasing is offset by the upside ...

Abstract: For modern embedded systems in the realm of high-throughput multimedia, imaging, and signal processing, the complexity of embedded applications has reached a point where the performance ...

The assignment consists of several phases. Use the links below to navigate to the phase you are interested in. The host code is written in C. Algorithm kernels are written using OpenCL for phases 5 ...

Interconnect mechanisms are application-specific and represent a significant part of a design's value. Being able to capture system-level processor interactions is key to validating your system. You ...

In a multiprocessor environment, multiple function calls can be executed simultaneously from different threads. Thus, one question arises: what will be the final order of execution (imagine a queue ...

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a new programming paradigm named Notification-Oriented Paradigm (NOP) and analyses the performance aspects of NOP programs by means of an experiment. NOP provides a new ...

Real-world systems with complicated quality-of-service guarantees may require a delicate balance between throughput and latency in order to meet operating requirements in a cost-efficient manner. The ...

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a new programming paradigm named Notification Oriented Paradigm (NOP) and analyses performance aspects of NOP programs by means of an experiment. NOP provides a new ...

Abstract: In today's multiprocessor SoCs (MPSoCs), parallel programming models are needed to fully exploit hardware capabilities and to achieve the 100 Gops/W energy efficiency target required for ...
