The PIG Paradigm: The Design and Use of a Massively Parallel Fine Grained Self-Reconfigurable Infinitely Scalable Architecture
نویسنده
چکیده
The requirements of a general purpose massively parallel processing system are outlined. The suitability of a finegrained self-reconfigurable system to general massively parallel processing is shown. A new type of selfreconfigurable device called the PIG is introduced, and details of its design and operation are explained. The PIG’s uniqueness compared to other reconfigurable systems is discussed. This uniqueness is further illustrated through specific examples of PIG circuits. An application of the PIG to evolvable hardware is described. Further potential applications are discussed. Plans for future work, including options for building a large-scale PIG are

Circuit Morphing: Declarative Modeling of Reconfigurable Combinational Logic
Using a simple reconfigurable logic gate that combines an ITE gate and a 1-bit memory cell we devise a mechanism for synthesizing fine grained circuits that overlap multiple logic functions. A declarative model of the approach, including an exact synthesizer for small circuits, is provided as a literate Haskell program (code available at http://logic.csci.unt.edu/tarau/research/2009/fsyn.hs). P...
متن کاملA Fine Grained Parallel Fuzzy Segmentation Algorithm on Reconfigurable Mesh Computer
In this paper, we propose a fast parallel algorithm for data classification, and its application for Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) segmentation. The presented classification method is based on a parallel fine grained fuzzy C-means algorithm. It is implemented on a polymorphic SIMD machine to sort out the different components of a brain image. The use of the massively parallel architecture in ...
متن کاملUsing the KressArray for Reconfigurable Computing
Multimedia applications commonly require high computation power mostly in conjunction with high data throughput. As an additional challenge, such applications are increasingly used in handheld devices, where also small package outlines and low power aspects are important. Many research approaches have shown, that accelerators based on reconfigurable hardware can satisfy those performance demand...
متن کاملA Fine-Grained Parallel Pipelined Karhunen-Loève Transform
A high-performance Karhunen-Loève transform for multi-spectral imagery suitable for remote-sensing applications has been prototyped on a platform FPGA, by means of a PC-based development board. Performance estimates suggest that the design will already outperform implementation on a high-end microprocessor, given due attention to I/O (Input/Output). General conclusions are reached for the utili...
متن کاملEfficient Realization of Givens Rotation through Algorithm-Architecture Co-design for Acceleration of QR Factorization
We present efficient realization of Generalized Givens Rotation (GGR) based QR factorization that achieves 3-100x better performance in terms of Gflops/watt over state-of-the-art realizations on multicore, and General Purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPUs). GGR is an improvement over classical Givens Rotation (GR) operation that can annihilate multiple elements of rows and columns of an inp...
