  • Lecture 7: Synchronous Sequential Logic
    Systems I: Computer Organization and Architecture Lecture 7: Synchronous Sequential Logic Synchronous Sequential Logic • The digital circuits that we have looked at so far are combinational, depending only on the inputs. In practice, most systems have many components that contain memory elements, which require sequential logic. • A sequential circuit contains both a combinational circuit and memory elements, whose output also serves as an input for the combinational circuit. • The binary data stored in the memory elements define the state of the sequential circuit and help determine the conditions for changing the state in the memory elements. Inputs Combinational Outputs circuit Memory elements Sequential Circuits: Synchronous and Asynchronous • There are two types of sequential circuits, classified by their signal’s timing: – Synchronous sequential circuits have behavior that is defined from knowledge of its signal at discrete instants of time. – The behavior of asynchronous sequential circuits depends on the order in which input signals change and are affected at any instant of time. Synchronous Sequential Circuits • Synchronous sequential circuits need to use signal that affect memory elements at discrete time instants. • Synchronization is achieved by a timing device called a master-clock generator which generates a periodic train of clock pulses.

  • Performance Evaluation of a Signal Processing Algorithm with General-Purpose Computing on a Graphics Processing Unit
    DEGREE PROJECT IN TECHNOLOGY, FIRST CYCLE, 15 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2019 Performance Evaluation of a Signal Processing Algorithm with General-Purpose Computing on a Graphics Processing Unit FILIP APPELGREN MÅNS EKELUND KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE Performance Evaluation of a Signal Processing Algorithm with General-Purpose Computing on a Graphics Processing Unit Filip Appelgren and M˚ansEkelund June 5, 2019 2 Abstract Graphics Processing Units (GPU) are increasingly being used for general-purpose programming, instead of their traditional graphical tasks. This is because of their raw computational power, which in some cases give them an advantage over the traditionally used Central Processing Unit (CPU). This thesis therefore sets out to identify the performance of a GPU in a correlation algorithm, and what parameters have the greatest effect on GPU performance. The method used for determining performance was quantitative, utilizing a clock library in C++ to measure performance of the algorithm as problem size increased. Initial problem size was set to 28 and increased exponentially to 221. The results show that smaller sample sizes perform better on the serial CPU implementation but that the parallel GPU implementations start outperforming the CPU between problem sizes of 29 and 210. It became apparent that GPU's benefit from larger problem sizes, mainly because of the memory overhead costs involved with allocating and transferring data. Further, the algorithm that is under evaluation is not suited for a parallelized implementation due to a high amount of branching. Logic can lead to warp divergence, which can drastically lower performance.

  • Object-Oriented Development for Reconfigurable Architectures
    Object-Oriented Development for Reconfigurable Architectures Von der Fakultät für Mathematik und Informatik der Technischen Universität Bergakademie Freiberg genehmigte DISSERTATION zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktor Ingenieur Dr.-Ing., vorgelegt von Dipl.-Inf. (FH) Dominik Fröhlich geboren am 19. Februar 1974 Gutachter: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Bernd Steinbach (Freiberg) Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Beierlein (Mittweida) PD Dr.-Ing. habil. Michael Ryba (Osnabrück) Tag der Verleihung: 20. Juni 2007 To my parents. ABSTRACT Reconfigurable hardware architectures have been available now for several years. Yet the application devel- opment for such architectures is still a challenging and error-prone task, since the methods, languages, and tools being used for development are inappropriate to handle the complexity of the problem. This hampers the widespread utilization, despite of the numerous advantages offered by this type of architecture in terms of computational power, flexibility, and cost. This thesis introduces a novel approach that tackles the complexity challenge by raising the level of ab- straction to system-level and increasing the degree of automation. The approach is centered around the paradigms of object-orientation, platforms, and modeling. An application and all platforms being used for its design, implementation, and deployment are modeled with objects using UML and an action language. The application model is then transformed into an implementation, whereby the transformation is steered by the platform models. In this thesis solutions for the relevant problems behind this approach are discussed. It is shown how UML can be used for complete and precise modeling of applications and platforms. Application development is done at the system-level using a set of well-defined, orthogonal platform models.
