Dedicated Processor

Field-programmable logic arrays are often used in courses on computer architecture. The student must describe the processor with the external components necessary for its operation in the specified HDL (hardware description language) language according to the provided specification during a certain number of projects. The weakness of this approach is that the basis of such projects is a processor of one specific architecture, so the lecturer faces the issue of individualization of projects. This article proposes a solution based on dedicated processors instead of one programmable processor of a specific architecture. It’s shown here that the issue of project individualization is easier solvable in the proposed way, and it does not deviate from the theory of computer architecture, because the programmable processor is a generalization of a dedicated processor. The article describes project design ideas based on dedicated processors and gives some examples. Represented different instance than was applied during practical sessions of Computer Architecture that are held at the Department of Electronic Systems within VILNIUS TECH, i.e. certain modifications, and additions were applied.

Self Organizing

In this paper, we present a new generic architectural approach of a Self-Organizing Map (SOM). The proposed architecture, called the Diagonal-SOM (D-SOM), is described as an Hardware–Description-Language as an intellectual property kernel with easily adjustable parameters.The D-SOM architecture is based on a generic formalism that exploits two levels of the nested parallelism of neurons and connections. This solution is therefore considered as a system based on the cooperation of a distributed set of independent computations. The organization and structure of these calculations process an oriented data flow in order to find a better treatment distribution between different neuroprocessors. To validate the D-SOM architecture, we evaluate the performance of several SOM network architectures after their integration on a Xilinx Virtex-7 Field Programmable Gate Array support. The proposed solution allows the easy adaptation of learning to a large number of SOM topologies without any considerable design effort. [Formula: see text] SOM hardware is validated through FPGA implementation, where temporal performance is almost twice as fast as that obtained in the recent literature. The suggested D-SOM architecture is also validated through simulation on variable-sized SOM networks applied to color vector quantization.

A comparison of linear and quadratic transform implementation on field programmable gate array (FPGA) is presented. Popular linear transform namely Stockwell Transform and Smoothed Pseudo Wigner Ville Distribution (SPWVD) transform from Quadratic transforms is considered for the implementation on FPGA. Both the transforms are coded in Verilog hardware description language (Verilog HDL). Complex calculations of transformation are performed by using CORDIC algorithm. From FPGA family, Spartan-6 is chosen as hardware device to implement. Synthetic chirp signal is taken as input to test the both designed transforms. Summary of hardware resource utilization on Spartan-6 for both the transforms is presented.

Hardware Description

This paper presents the design and development of a technique for an Autonomous and Versatile mode Parking System (AVPS) that combines a various number of parking modes. The proposed approach is different from that of many developed parking systems. Previous research has focused on choosing only a parking lot starting from two parking modes (which are parallel and perpendicular). This research aims at developing a parking system that automatically chooses a parking lot starting from four parking modes. The automatic AVPS was proposed for the car-parking control problem, and could be potentially exploited for future vehicle generation. A specific mode can be easily computed using the proposed strategy. A variety of candidate modes could be generated using one developed real time VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) algorithm providing optimal solutions with performance measures. Based on simulation and experimental results, the AVPS is able to find and recognize in advance which parking mode to select. This combination describes full implementation on a mobile robot, such as a car, based on a specific FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) card. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed innovation, an evaluation process comparing the proposed technique with existing techniques was conducted and outlined.

This study applies FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) technology to implement a motion controller for wafer-handling robot which has three-DOF (Degree of Freedom) motion. The proposed FPGA-based motion controller has two modules. The first module is Nios II processor which is used to realize the motion trajectory computation and the three-axis position/speed controllers. The second module is demonstrated to implement the three-axis current vector controllers by using FPGA hardware, and VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) is adopted to describe the controller behavior. Therefore, a fully digital motion controller for wafer-handling robot, such as one trajectory planning, three current vector controllers and three position/speed controllers are all implemented with an FPGA chip.

A review of high-speed pipelined phase accumulator (PA) is proposed in this paper. The detail explanation of ideas, methods and techniques used in previous researches to improve the PA throughput designs were surveyed. The Brent–Kung (BK) adder was modified in this paper to be applied in pipelined PA architecture. A comparison of different adder circuits, includes a modified BK, ripple carry adder (RCA), Kogge-Stone adder (KS) and other prefix adders were applied to architect the PA based on Pipeline technique. The presented pipelined PA design circuit with multiple frequency control word (FCW) and different adders were coded Verilog hardware description language (HDL) code, compiled and verified with field programmable gate array (FPGA) kit platform. The comparison result shows that the modified BK adder has fast performances. The shifted clocking technique is utilized in the proposed pipelined PA circuit to reduce the unwanted repetitive D-flip flop (DFF) registers (coming from the pipeline technique), while preserving the high speed.

The results show the optical flow as a vector field over one frame, which enable an easy detection of the movement. The results are compared to a software implementation to insure the success of the method. The implementation is a fast implementation capable of quickly overcoming a traditional implementation in software.

Alan Programlanabilir Kapı Dizileri (Field Programmable Gate Array-FPGA) programlanabilir sayısal bloklar ve bağlantılarını içeren cihazlar olup çok esnek ve hızlı çalışabilme özelliklerine sahiptir. Programlanabilen bu sayısal kapılar sayesinde karmaşık tasarımlar kolay bir şekilde geliştirilebilmektedir. FPGA’lar küçük boyutlarda olup bilgisayardan bağımsız mobil olarak ve bilgisayarlardan daha yüksek hızlarda çalışabilmektedirler. Veri madenciliğinin görevlerinden biri olan sınıflandırma probleminin çözümü için geliştirilmiş önemli makine öğrenimi algoritmalarından biri Destek Vektör Makineleri’ dir. Literatürde Destek Vektör Makineleri’ nin diğer birçok tekniğe göre daha başarılı sonuçlar verdiği kanıtlanmıştır. Tümör analizi, yüz tanıma, robotik göz oluşturma gibi konular, araştırmacıların görüntü işleme alanında yoğun olarak üzerinde çalıştıkları güncel, önemli ve zor problemlerden bazılarıdır. Bilgisayarda yapılan tümör analizinde, grafik ve resimlerin işlenmesinde yavaş işlem yapma ve aynı zamanda mobil olmama sorunlarından, FPGA donanımı ile görüntü işlemede bu sorunların üstesinden gelinmektedir. Bu çalışmada FPGA donanımında çalışan destek vektör makinası kullanılarak daha gerçekçi tümör analizi yapılarak tümörlü bölgelerin bulunması ve gerekli analiz sonuçlarının gösterilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Böylece sağlık alanında da kullanılabilecek yararlı bir donanımın tasarımı gerçekleştirilecektir. Dolayısıyla gömülü sistemlerle anlatılan bu işlem süreçlerini gerçekleştiren çalışma sayısı çok az olduğundan çalışma özgün değer taşımaktadır. Buna ek olarak, FPGA’ ya özgü donanım tanımlama dillerinden biri olan Çok Yüksek Hızlı Tümleşik Devre Tanımlama Dili (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit  Hardware Description Language- VHDL) kullanılacaktır. Bölütleme sonucunun değerlendirilmesi için Uniformity Measure (UM) kullanılmıştır. UM değerlendirme sonucunun başarılı olduğu görülmüştür.
