Design and implementation of the SliM image processor chip
SliM 이미지 프로세서 칩 설계 및 구현
Abstract
The SliM (sliding memory plane) array processor has been proposed to alleviate disadvantages of existing mesh-connected SIMD(single instruction stream- multiple data streams) array processors, such as the inter-PE(processing element) communication overhead, the data I/O overhead and complicated interconnections. This paper presents the deisgn and implementation of SliM image processor ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) chip consisting of mesh connected 5 X 5 PE. The PE architecture implemented here is quite different from the originally proposed PE. We have performed the front-end design, such as VHDL (VHSIC hardware description language)modeling, logic synthesis and simulation, and have doen the back-end design procedure. The SliM ASIC chip used the VTI 0.8
