  • Comparative Study of Various Systems on Chips Embedded in Mobile Devices
    Innovative Systems Design and Engineering www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1727 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2871 (Online) Vol.4, No.7, 2013 - National Conference on Emerging Trends in Electrical, Instrumentation & Communication Engineering Comparative Study of Various Systems on Chips Embedded in Mobile Devices Deepti Bansal(Assistant Professor) BVCOE, New Delhi Tel N: +919711341624 Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Systems-on-chips (SoCs) are the latest incarnation of very large scale integration (VLSI) technology. A single integrated circuit can contain over 100 million transistors. Harnessing all this computing power requires designers to move beyond logic design into computer architecture, meet real-time deadlines, ensure low-power operation, and so on. These opportunities and challenges make SoC design an important field of research. So in the paper we will try to focus on the various aspects of SOC and the applications offered by it. Also the different parameters to be checked for functional verification like integration and complexity are described in brief. We will focus mainly on the applications of system on chip in mobile devices and then we will compare various mobile vendors in terms of different parameters like cost, memory, features, weight, and battery life, audio and video applications. A brief discussion on the upcoming technologies in SoC used in smart phones as announced by Intel, Microsoft, Texas etc. is also taken up. Keywords: System on Chip, Core Frame Architecture, Arm Processors, Smartphone. 1. Introduction: What Is SoC? We first need to define system-on-chip (SoC). A SoC is a complex integrated circuit that implements most or all of the functions of a complete electronic system.

  • Accelerating Augmented Reality Video Processing with Fpgas
    Accelerating Augmented Reality Video Processing with FPGAs A Major Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science 4/27/2016 Anthony Dresser, Lukas Hunker, Andrew Weiler Advisors: Professor James Duckworth, Professor Michael Ciaraldi This report represents work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects. Abstract This project implemented a system for performing Augmented Reality on a Xilinx Zync FPGA. Augmented and virtual reality is a growing field currently dominated by desktop computer based solutions, and FPGAs offer unique advantages in latency, performance, bandwidth, and portability over more traditional solutions. The parallel nature of FPGAs also create a favorable platform for common types of video processing and machine vision algorithms. The project uses two OV7670 cameras mounted on the front of an Oculus Rift DK2. A video pipeline is designed around an Avnet ZedBoard, which has a Zynq 7020 SoC/FPGA. The system aimed to highlight moving objects in front of the user. Executive Summary Virtual and augmented reality are quickly growing fields, with many companies bringing unique hard- ware and software solutions to market each quarter. Presently, these solutions generally rely on a desktop computing platform to perform their video processing and video rendering. While it is easy to develop on these platforms due to their abundant performance, several issues arise that are generally discounted: cost, portability, power consumption, real time performance, and latency.

  • Rapid Prototyping of an FPGA-Based Video Processing System
    Rapid Prototyping of an FPGA-Based Video Processing System Zhun Shi Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Computer Engineering Peter M. Athanas, Chair Thomas Martin Haibo Zeng Apr 29th, 2016 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: FPGA, Computer Vision, Video Processing, Rapid Prototyping, High-Level Synthesis Copyright 2016, Zhun Shi Rapid Prototyping of an FPGA-Based Video Processing System Zhun Shi (ABSTRACT) Computer vision technology can be seen in a variety of applications ranging from mobile phones to autonomous vehicles. Many computer vision applications such as drones and autonomous vehicles requires real-time processing capability in order to communicate with the control unit for sending commands in real time. Besides real-time processing capability, it is crucial to keep the power consumption low in order to extend the battery life of not only mobile devices, but also drones and autonomous vehicles. FPGAs are desired platforms that can provide high-performance and low-power solutions for real-time video processing. As hardware designs typically are more time consuming than equivalent software designs, this thesis proposes a rapid prototyping flow for FPGA-based video processing system design by taking advantage of the use of high performance AXI interface and a high level synthesis tool, Vivado HLS. Vivado HLS provides the convenience of automatically synthesizing a software implementation to hardware implementation. But the tool is far from being perfect, and users still need embedded hardware knowledge and experience in order to accomplish a successful design.

  • Simulation and Development Environment for Mobile 3D Graphics Architectures
    SPECIAL SECTION ON ADVANCES IN ELECTRONICS SYSTEMS SIMULATION Simulation and development environment for mobile 3D graphics architectures W.-J. Lee, W.-C. Park, V.P. Srini and T.-D. Han Abstract: This paper describes a simulation and development environment for designing mobile three-dimensional (3D) graphics architectures. The proposed simulation and verification environ- ment (SVE) uses glTrace’s ability to intercept and redirect an OpenGLjES streams. The SVE simu- lates the behaviour of mobile 3D graphics pipeline during the playback of traces and produces the second geometry trace that can be used as a test vector for the Verilog/hardware discription language RT-level model. An architectural verification can be conducted by comparing the frame-by-frame results. The functionality of the SVE is demonstrated by designing a mobile 3D graphics architecture and implementing the verified architecture on field programmable gate array (FPGA) boards. An application development environment (ADE) is also presented that includes a mobile graphics application programming interface and a device driver interface. The proposed SVE and the ADE could be efficiently used for developing and testing mobile appli- cations, architectural analysis and hardware designs. 1 Introduction for mobile 3D has been proposed with optimisation tech- niques such as multi-sampling, texture filtering and simple Mobile devices such as hand-held phone, smart phone, culling.

  • Memory System Optimizations for CPU-GPU Heterogeneous Chip-Multiprocessors
    Memory System Optimizations for CPU-GPU Heterogeneous Chip-multiprocessors A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Siddharth Rai to the DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY KANPUR, INDIA July, 2018 Synopsis Recent commercial chip-multiprocessors (CMPs) have integrated CPU as well as GPU cores on the same chip [42, 43, 44, 93]. In today's designs, these cores typically share parts of the memory system resources between the applications executing on the two types of cores. However, since the CPU and the GPU cores execute very different workloads leading to very different resource requirements, designing intelligent protocols for sharing resources between them such that both CPU and GPU gain in performance brings forth new challenges to the design space of these heterogeneous processors. In this dissertation, we explore solutions to dynamically allocate last-level cache (LLC) capacity and DRAM bandwidth to the CPU and GPU cores in a design where both the CPU and the GPU share the large on- die LLC, DRAM controllers, DRAM channels, DRAM ranks, and DRAM device resources (banks, rows). CPU and GPU differ vastly in their execution models, workload characteristics, and performance requirements. On one hand, a CPU core executes instructions of a latency-sensitive and/or moderately bandwidth-sensitive job progressively in a pipeline generating memory accesses (for instruction and data) only in a few pipeline stages (instruction fetch and data memory access stages). On the other hand, GPU can access different data streams having different semantic meanings and disparate access patterns throughout the rendering pipeline.

  • (Unified) Shader GPU Microarchitecture for Embedded Systems*
    A Single (Unified) Shader GPU Microarchitecture * for Embedded Systems Victor Moya1, Carlos González, Jordi Roca, 2 Agustín Fernández, and Roger Espasa Department of Computer Architecture, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Abstract. We present and evaluate the TILA-rin GPU microarchitecture for embedded systems using the ATTILA GPU simulation framework. We use a trace from an execution of the Unreal Tournament 2004 PC game to evaluate and compare the performance of the proposed embedded GPU against a baseline GPU architecture for the PC. We evaluate the different elements that have been removed from the baseline GPU architecture to accommodate the architecture to the restricted power, bandwidth and area budgets of embedded systems. The unified shader architecture we present processes vertices, triangles and fragments in a single processing unit saving space and reducing hardware complexity. The proposed embedded GPU architecture sustains 20 frames per second on the selected UT 2004 trace. 1 Introduction In the last years the embedded market has been growing at a fast peace. With the in- crease of the computational power of the CPUs mounted in embedded systems and the increase in the amount of available memory those systems have become open to new kind of applications. One of these applications are 3D graphic applications, mainly games. Modern PDAs, powerful mobile phones and portable consoles already implement relatively powerful GPUs and support games with similar characteristics and features of PC games from five to ten years ago. However at the current pace embedded GPUs are about to reach the programmability and performance capabilities of their ‘big brothers’, the PC GPUs.
