چکیده
This paper presents the design and implementation of the new Active Memory Manager Unit (AMMU) designed to be embedded into System-on-Chip CPUs. The unit is implemented using VHDL in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology. The modified buddy system is used as the hardware algorithm for memory management. The RISC compatible open-source CPU is deployed with the memory management unit to demonstrate the feasibility of implementation. The results indicate that the proposed AMMU achieves high performance in memory allocation and deallocation for software systems .

Increasing complexity of system design and shorter time-to-market requirements lead research towards the investigation of hybrid systems including processors enhanced by programmable logic [1][2]. A dynamically reconfigurable processing unit tightly connected to a Flash EEPROM memory subsystem is presented. The reconfigurable processing unit targets image-voice processing and recognition applic...
متن کاملDesign of Reconfigurable Hardware Architectures for Real-time Applications
This thesis discusses modeling and implementation of reconfigurable hardware architectures for real-time applications. The target application in this work is digital holographic imaging, where visible images are to be reconstructed based on holographic recordings. The reconstruction process is computationally demanding and requires hardware acceleration to achieve real-time performance. Thus, t...
متن کاملA Stream-based Reconfigurable Router Prototype
Flexible and fast routers are generally considered a contradiction in terms since maintaining high-throughput requires fast but fixed-configuration application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) while flexibility requires slower but flexible configuration of general-purpose processors. A configurable stream-based reconfigurable router is a fast, flexible solution that includes the best featur...
