A high level FPGA-based abstract machine for processing

摘要: Image processing requires high computational power, plus the ability to experiment with algorithms. Recently, reconfigurable hardware devices in form of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have been proposed as a way obtaining performance at an economical price. At present, however, users must program FPGAs very low level and detailed knowledge architecture device being used. They do not therefore facilitate easy development of, or experimentation with, image To try reconcile dual requirements ease development, this paper reports on design realisation FPGA based machine its associated programming model. This abstract model allows application developer concentrate algorithm hand rather than implementation. The is PC host system PCI-bus add-on card containing Xilinx XC6200 series FPGA(s). machine's instruction set operators algebra. configurations developed implement each instruction.
