Accelerating Software Pipelines Using Streaming Caches

The trend of increasing performance by parallelism is followed by the adoption of heterogeneous systems. In order to allow more fine-tuned balancing between used thread- and instruction level parallelism, the heterogeneous ρ-VEX platform was developed. Pipelining has been a part of microprocessor development for decades to increase throughput of...

Streaming FPGA Based Multiprocessor Architecture for Low latency Medical Image Processing

In this work a fast and efficient implementation of a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based, fixed hardware, streaming multiprocessor architecture for low latency medical image processing is introduced. The design of this computation fabric is based on the ρ-VEX Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) softcore processor and is in influenced by...
