A Novel Multiply-Accumulator Unit Bus Encoding Architecture for Image Processing Applications

In the CMOS circuit power dissipation is a major concern for VLSI functional units. With shrinking feature size, increased frequency and power dissipation on the data bus have become the most important factor compared to other parts of the functional units. One of the most important functional units in any processor is the Multiply-Accumulator unit (MAC). The current work focuses on the develop...

Lagrange Gradient Mask for Optical Image Processing

Masks are used in optical image processing. They are used to generate gradient maps. These maps are applicable to the enhancement of feature extraction and edge detection. Lagrange mask is presented in this letter and criteria for the characterizations of mask performance are given. Through an illustration the performance of the presented mask is demonstrated where it is compared to that of Gab...

Parleda: a Library for Parallel Processing in Computational Geometry Applications

ParLeda is a software library that provides the basic primitives needed for parallel implementation of computational geometry applications. It can also be used in implementing a parallel application that uses geometric data structures. The parallel model that we use is based on a new heterogeneous parallel model named HBSP, which is based on BSP and is introduced here. ParLeda uses two main lib...
