Rendering technique generating 2 dimensional image to give reality and high performance graphical processor for efficient processing of massive data are necessary to support realistic 3 dimensional graphical image. Recently, graphical hardwares have evolved rapidly. This enables high quality rendering effect that we were unable to process in realtime. Improving shading technique enabled us to render realistic images but still much time is required for this process. Multiple operational units are being integrated in a graphical processor for effective floating point operation using massive data to process almost real looking images. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a special functional unit to support high quality 3 dimensional computer graphic image on programmable integrated shader processor. We have done evaluation through functional level simulation of designed special functional unit. Hardware resource usage rate and execution speed are measured implementing directly on FPGA Virtex-4(xc4vlx200).

This paper proposes an optima] many-core processor architecture that meets the requirements of low power and high performance for different ultrasonic image resolutions in hand-held ultrasonic devices. To identify the optimal many-core architecture, seven different PE configurations are simulated for processing ultrasonic images in terms of execution performance and energy consumption. Experimental results indicate that the highest energy efficiencies are achieved at PEs=1,024, 64, and 256 for ultrasonic images at $256{\times}256$, $320{\times}240$, and $800{\times}480$ resolutions, respectively. In addition, the maximum area efficiencies are obtained at PEs=256 (for $256{\times}256$ and $800{\times}480$ image resolutions) and 64 (for $320{\times}240$ image resolution).

This paper presents an architecture and its instruction set for a graphic coprocessor(GCP) which can be used for a multimedia server. The proposed instruction set employs parallel architecture concepts, such as SIMD and Superscalar. GCP consists of a scheduler and four functional units. The scheduler solves an instruction bottleneck problem causing by sharing with four general processors(GPs). GCP can execute up to 4 instructions in parallel. It consists of about 56,000 gates and operates at 30 MHz clock frequency due to speed limitation of SOG technology. GCP meets the real-time DCT algorithm requirement of the CIF image format and can process up to 63 frames/sec for the DCT Algorithm and 21 frames/sec for the Full Block matching Algorithm of the CIF image format.

Portable embedded systems have recently become smaller in size and offer a variety of junctions for users. These systems require high performance processors to handle the many functions and also a small battery to fit inside the system. However, due to its size, the battery life has become a major issue. It is important to have both efficient power design and management for each function, while optimizing processor voltage and clock frequency in order to extend the battery life of the system. In this paper, we calculated the efficiency of power in optimizing power rail. This system has two microprocessors. One is used to play music and movie files while the other is for DMB. In order to reduce power consumption, the DMB microprocessor is turned of while music or videos are played. Lastly, DVFS is applied to the processor in the system to reduce power consumption. Experimental results of the implemented system have resulted in reduced power consumption.

최근 영상이나 이미지로부터 사용자가 원하는 정보를 추출해 내고 재구성 하는 영상 인식, 증강 현실 등의 컴퓨터 비전(Computer Vision) 응용들이 각광을 받고 있다. 이러한 컴퓨터 비전 응용들은 그 동안 많은 알고리즘들의 연구를 통해 꾸준히 개선되고 향상되어 왔으나, 많은 계산량을 요구하기 때문에 임베디드 시스템에서는 널리 쓰이기 힘들었다. 하지만 최근 들어, 스마트폰 등의 모바일 기기에서의 계산 처리 능력이 향상 되고, 소비자 수요가 증가하면서, 이러한 컴퓨터 비전 응용은 점점 모바일 기기에서 널리 쓰이게 되고 있다. 하지만, 여전히 이러한 컴퓨터 응용을 수행하기 위한 계산양은 부족하기 때문에, 충분한 연산량을 제공하기 위한 방법론들이 다양하게 제시되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 컴퓨터 응용을 위한 프로세서 구조로서 재구성형 프로세서(Reconfigurable Architecture)를 제안한다. 컴퓨터 비전 응용 중 사물 인식 분야에서 널리 쓰이는 SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transformation)을 분석하고 이를 재구성형 프로세서에 맵핑하여 성능 향상을 꾀하였다. SIFT의 주요 커널들을 재구성형 프로세서 맵핑한 결과 최소 6.5배에서 최대 9.2배의 성능 향상을 이룰 수 있었다.
