Kompresi Data Text Menggunakan Metode “Duplicate Word Indexingâ€

A data is often important so it should not be removed from data storage as it is used as an archive. The large number of new data archive data can slowly reduce free space and slow down the data transfer process. In this research, an approach is done to manage archive data by doing compression to minimize size. The results of this study were tested on some randomly books shows the number of data text size decrease of 19.46%. Keywords: data, archive, compression, tex

Dynamically Reconfigurable Systolic Array Accelerators: A Case Study with Extended Kalman Filter and Discrete Wavelet Transform Algorithms

Field programmable grid arrays (FPGA) are increasingly being adopted as the primary on-board computing system for autonomous deep space vehicles. There is a need to support several complex applications for navigation and image processing in a rapidly responsive on-board FPGA-based computer. This requires exploring and combining several design concepts such as systolic arrays, hardware-software partitioning, and partial dynamic reconfiguration. A microprocessor/co-processor design that can accelerate two single precision oating-point algorithms, extended Kalman lter and a discrete wavelet transform, is presented. This research makes three key contributions. (i) A polymorphic systolic array framework comprising of recofigurable partial region-based sockets to accelerate algorithms amenable to being mapped onto linear systolic arrays. When implemented on a low end Xilinx Virtex4 SX35 FPGA the design provides a speedup of at least 4.18x and 6.61x over a state of the art microprocessor used in spacecraft systems for the extended Kalman lter and discrete wavelet transform algorithms, respectively. (ii) Switchboxes to enable communication between static and partial reconfigurable regions and a simple protocol to enable schedule changes when a socket\u27s contents are dynamically reconfigured to alter the concurrency of the participating systolic arrays. (iii) A hybrid partial dynamic reconfiguration method that combines Xilinx early access partial reconfiguration, on-chip bitstream decompression, and bitstream relocation to enable fast scaling of systolic arrays on the PolySAF. This technique provided a 2.7x improvement in reconfiguration time compared to an o-chip partial reconfiguration technique that used a Flash card on the FPGA board, and a 44% improvement in BRAM usage compared to not using compression

VR-ZYCAP: A versatile resourse-level ICAP controller for ZYNQ SOC

This article belongs to the Special Issue Architecture and CAD for Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs)Hybrid architectures integrating a processor with an SRAM-based FPGA fabric—for example, Xilinx ZynQ SoC—are increasingly being used as a single-chip solution in several market segments to replace multi-chip designs. These devices not only provide advantages in terms of logic density, cost and integration, but also provide run-time in-field reconfiguration capabilities. However, the current reconfiguration capabilities provided by vendor tools are limited to the module level. Therefore, incremental run-time configuration memory changes require a lengthy compilation time for off-line bitstream generation along with storage and reconfiguration time overheads with traditional vendor methodologies. In this paper, an internal configuration access port (ICAP) controller that provides a versatile fine-grain resource-level incremental reconfiguration of the programmable logic (PL) resources in ZynQ SoC is presented. The proposed controller implemented in PL, called VR-ZyCAP, can reconfigure look-up tables (LUTs) and Flip-Flops (FF). The run-time reconfiguration of FF is achieved through a reset after reconfiguration (RAR)-featured partial bitstream to avoid the unintended state corruption of other memory elements. Along with versatility, our proposed controller improves the reconfiguration time by 30 times for FFs compared to state-of-the-art works while achieving a nearly 400-fold increase in speed for LUTs when compared to vendor-supported software approaches. In addition, it achieves competitive resource utilization when compared to existing approaches.This research was funded by Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under the ACHILLES project, grant number PID2019-104207RB-I00 and by Taif University Researchers Supporting fund, grant number (TURSP-2020/144), Taif University, Taif, Saudi Arabia

A Dynamically Reconfigurable Parallel Processing Framework with Application to High-Performance Video Processing

Digital video processing demands have and will continue to grow at unprecedented rates. Growth comes from ever increasing volume of data, demand for higher resolution, higher frame rates, and the need for high capacity communications. Moreover, economic realities force continued reductions in size, weight and power requirements. The ever-changing needs and complexities associated with effective video processing systems leads to the consideration of dynamically reconfigurable systems. The goal of this dissertation research was to develop and demonstrate the viability of integrated parallel processing system that effectively and efficiently apply pre-optimized hardware cores for processing video streamed data. Digital video is decomposed into packets which are then distributed over a group of parallel video processing cores. Real time processing requires an effective task scheduler that distributes video packets efficiently to any of the reconfigurable distributed processing nodes across the framework, with the nodes running on FPGA reconfigurable logic in an inherently Virtual\u27 mode. The developed framework, coupled with the use of hardware techniques for dynamic processing optimization achieves an optimal cost/power/performance realization for video processing applications. The system is evaluated by testing processor utilization relative to I/O bandwidth and algorithm latency using a separable 2-D FIR filtering system, and a dynamic pixel processor. For these applications, the system can achieve performance of hundreds of 640x480 video frames per second across an eight lane Gen I PCIe bus. Overall, optimal performance is achieved in the sense that video data is processed at the maximum possible rate that can be streamed through the processing cores. This performance, coupled with inherent ability to dynamically add new algorithms to the described dynamically reconfigurable distributed processing framework, creates new opportunities for realizable and economic hardware virtualization.\u2

Architecture and Advanced Electronics Pathways Toward Highly Adaptive Energy- Efficient Computing

With the explosion of the number of compute nodes, the bottleneck of future computing systems lies in the network architecture connecting the nodes. Addressing the bottleneck requires replacing current backplane-based network topologies. We propose to revolutionize computing electronics by realizing embedded optical waveguides for onboard networking and wireless chip-to-chip links at 200-GHz carrier frequency connecting neighboring boards in a rack. The control of novel rate-adaptive optical and mm-wave transceivers needs tight interlinking with the system software for runtime resource management

JPEG decoder implementation on FPGA using dynamic partial reconfiguration

Trabalho Final de Mestrado para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Engenharia de Electrónica e telecomunicaçõesEsta tese descreve o estudo realizado sobre o tema de Sistemas Computacionais Reconfiguráveis utilizando Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Sistemas Computacionais Reconfiguráveis é um conceito tão antigo como a computação utilizando circuitos electrónicos. Para explorar os aspetos práticos do conceito, foi implementado um descodificador de imagens codificadas em sistema Baseline JPEGsobre uma FPGA da família Zynq™-7000. Realizado todo o trabalho de desenho, implementação e depuração do descodificador utilizando métodos tradicionais de implementação estática da lógica na FPGA, foi posteriormente realizado o trabalho de adaptação do descodificador desenvolvido para implementação na mesma FPGA utilizando métodos de implementação com reconfiguração parcialdinâmica. Este novo método tem como objetivo principal a realização de um descodificador funcional utilizando apenas uma parte dos recursos lógicos da FPGA quando comparado com a implementação estática do descodificador. A utilização de reconfiguração dinâmica tem como consequência um incremento da complexidade do sistema, originando, numa perspetiva macro, diferenças entre ambos os descodificadores, mas globalmente baseados nos mesmos critérios de desenho e partilhando grande parte dos módulos internos. São ainda descritos os passos para atingir o objetivo, de forma a clarificar o processo de reconfiguração parcial dinâmica para uma aplicação em eventuais novos critérios de projeto e diferentes cenários de aplicação. Esta tese explora ainda o desenvolvimento de sistemas auxiliares que permitem a descodificação direta de ficheiros .jpg e a sua apresentação num monitor VGA.Abstract: This thesis describes a study conducted in Reconfigurable Computing using a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Reconfigurable Computing is a concept almost as old as high-speed electronic computing itself. To explore the practical aspects of the concept, a Baseline JPEG image decoder was implemented over a Zynq™-7000 family FPGA. After using traditional methods for the design, implementation and debugging of static decoder logic, the work path was set to adapt the decoder to be implemented on the same FPGA using methods based on Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration. Using this approach the main objective was to develop a working decoder with only a subset of the used resources ofthe FPGA when compared to static implementation of the similar decoder. The dynamic partial reconfiguration brings some additional complexity to the system resulting on two different decoders from a macro perspective view but globally relying on the same design considerations and that share the majority of the internal modules. The steps to achieve the objective are described in order to clarify the dynamic partial reconfiguration process and to eventually open new design possibilities that can be exploited in different application scenarios. The thesis also explores the development of auxiliary systems to enable the ability to decode direct .jpg files and present them on a VGA monitor

Design Space Exploration of Accelerators for Warehouse Scale Computing

With Moore’s law grinding to a halt, accelerators are one of the ways that new silicon can improve performance, and they are already a key component in modern datacenters. Accelerators are integrated circuits that implement parts of an application with the objective of higher energy efficiency compared to execution on a standard general purpose CPU. Many accelerators can target any particular workload, generally with a wide range of performance, and costs such as area or power. Exploring these design choices, called Design Space Exploration (DSE), is a crucial step in trying to find the most efficient accelerator design, the one that produces the largest reduction of the total cost of ownership. This work aims to improve this design space exploration phase for accelerators and to avoid pitfalls in the process. This dissertation supports the thesis that early design choices – including the level of specialization – are critical for accelerator development and therefore require benchmarks reflective of production workloads. We present three studies that support this thesis. First, we show how to benchmark datacenter applications by creating a benchmark for large video sharing infrastructures. Then, we present two studies focused on accelerators for analytical query processing. The first is an analysis on the impact of Network on Chip specialization while the second analyses the impact of the level of specialization. The first part of this dissertation introduces vbench: a video transcoding benchmark tailored to the growing video-as-a-service market. Video transcoding is not accurately represented in current computer architecture benchmarks such as SPEC or PARSEC. Despite posing a big computational burden for cloud video providers, such as YouTube and Facebook, it is not included in cloud benchmarks such as CloudSuite. Using vbench, we found that the microarchitectural profile of video transcoding is highly dependent on the input video, that SIMD extensions provide limited benefits, and that commercial hardware transcoders impose tradeoffs that are not ideal for cloud video providers. Our benchmark should spur architectural innovations for this critical workload. This work shows how to benchmark a real world warehouse scale application and the possible pitfalls in case of a mischaracterization. When considering accelerators for the different, but no less important, application of analytical query processing, design space exploration plays a critical role. We analyzed the Q100, a class of accelerators for this application domain, using TPC-H as the reference benchmark. We found that the hardware computational blocks have to be tailored to the requirements of the application, but also the Network on Chip (NoC) can be specialized. We developed an algorithm capable of producing more effective Q100 designs by tailoring the NoC to the communication requirements of the system. Our algorithm is capable of producing designs that are Pareto optimal compared to standard NoC topologies. This shows how NoC specialization is highly effective for accelerators and it should be an integral part of design space exploration for large accelerators’ designs. The third part of this dissertation analyzes the impact of the level of specialization, e.g. using an ASIC or Coarse Grain Reconfigurable Architecture (CGRA) implementation, on an accelerator performance. We developed a CGRA architecture capable of executing SQL query plans. We compare this architecture against Q100, an ASIC that targets the same class of workloads. Despite being less specialized, this programmable architecture shows comparable performance to the Q100 given an area and power budget. Resource usage explains this counterintuitive result, since a well programmed, homogeneous array of resources is able to more effectively harness silicon for the workload at hand. This suggests that a balanced accelerator research portfolio must include alternative programmable architectures – and their software stacks
