We have developed a high-performance signal-processing and image-rendering heterogeneous computation system for optical coherence tomography (OCT) on mobile processor. In this paper, we reveal it by demonstrating real-time OCT image processing using a Snapdragon 800 mobile processor, with the introduction of a heterogeneous image visualization architecture (HIVA) to accelerate the signal-processing and image-visualization procedures. HIVA has been designed to maximize the computational performances of a mobile processor by using a native language compiler, which targets mobile processor, to directly access mobile-processor computing resources and the open computing language (OpenCL) for heterogeneous computation. The developed mobile image processing platform requires only 25 ms to produce an OCT image from $512{\times}1024$ OCT data. This is 617 times faster than the naïve approach without HIVA, which requires more than 15 s. The developed platform can produce 40 OCT images per second, to facilitate real-time mobile OCT image visualization. We believe this study would facilitate the development of portable diagnostic image visualization with medical imaging modality, which requires computationally expensive procedures, using a mobile processor.

RISC-V is an open instruction set architecture (ISA) developed in 2010 at UC Berkeley, and active research is being conducted as a processor to compete with ARM. In this paper, we propose an SoC system including an RV32I ISA-based 32-bit 5-stage pipeline processor and AHB bus master. The proposed RISC-V processor supports 37 instructions, excluding FENCE, ECALL, and EBREAK instructions, out of a total of 40 instructions based on RV32I ISA. In addition, the RISC-V processor can be connected to peripheral devices such as BRAM, UART, and TIMER using the AHB-lite bus protocol through the proposed AHB bus master. The proposed SoC system was implemented in Arty A7-35T FPGA with 1,959 LUTs and 1,982 flip-flops. Furthermore, the proposed hardware has a maximum operating frequency of 50 MHz. In the Dhrystone benchmark, the proposed processor performance was confirmed to be 0.48 DMIPS.

Recently, demand for embedded systems requiring low power and high specifications has been increasing, and RISC-V processors are being widely applied. RISC-V, a RISC-based open instruction set architecture (ISA), has been developed and researched by UC Berkeley and other researchers since 2010. RV32I ISA is sufficient to support integer operations such as addition and subtraction instructions, but M-extension should be defined for multiplication and division instructions. This paper proposes an RV32I, RV32IM processor, and indicates benchmark performance scores compared to an existing processor. Additionally, A non-stalling method was proposed to support a 2-stage pipelined DSP multiplier to the 5-stage pipelined RV32IM processor. Proposed RV32I and RV32IM processors satisfied a maximum operating frequency of 50 MHz on Artix-7 FPGA. The performance of the proposed processors was verified using benchmark programs from Dhrystone and Coremark. As a result, the Coremark benchmark results of the proposed processor showed that it outperformed the existing RV32IM processor by 23.91%.

컴퓨터 시스템에서의 메모리 접근 지연은 전체 시스템 성능에 큰 장애 요인 중 하나이다. 특히 분산 메모리 구조에서 지역 메모리와 원격 메모리의 접근 지연 시간은 큰 차이를 나타낸다. 원격 메모리 접근 지연으로 인한 성능 저하를 줄이고자 원격 메모리 영역만을 캐싱하는 원격 캐쉬가 제안되었으며, 원격 캐쉬는 프로세서 캐쉬와 더불어 다단계 캐쉬 형태로 구성된다. 일반적으로 상위 계층 캐쉬의 모든 내용을 하위 계층 캐쉬가 반드시 포함하는 다단계 캐쉬 내포성(MLI)을 지키는 다중 계층 메모리 구조에서 LRU 교체 정책을 사용할 경우, 하위 계층 캐쉬의 LRU 알고리즘에 따른 라인 교체로 인하여 상위 계층 캐쉬의 라인 교체가 일어날 패, 상위 계층 캐쉬로 요구된 라인 교체가 상위 계층 캐쉬 자체의 LRU 정보와 일치하지 않는 경우가 발생하며, 이로 인해 상위 캐쉬의 적중률이 저하되어 전체 시스템 성능이 저하된다. 본 논문은 원격 캐쉬를 추가시킨 분산 공유 메모리 구조 다중 프로세서 시스템의 성능 향상을 위해 LRU 캐쉬 교체 정책의 단점을 보완한 새로운 원격 캐쉬 교체 정책을 제안한다. 논문에서 제안하는 교체 정책은 LRU 정보에 부가하여 프로세서의 시간적 접근 지역성을 이용하여 교체할 캐쉰 라인을 선택하게 함으로써, 프로세서에서 자주 사용되는 원격 캐쉬 라인의 교체가 일어나지 않도록 하여 시스템의 성능 향상을 꾀한다. 시뮬레이션을 통한 성능비교 결과, 본 논문에서 제시한 원격 캐쉬 교체 정책은 기존의 LRU 교체 정책과 비교하여 평균 $3\%$, 최대 $10\%$의 무효화 및 캐쉬 접근 실패를 감소시켰고, 이 결과 전체 시스템의 성능은 평균 $2.5\%$, 최대 $3.5\%$ 향상되었다.

In this paper, the instruction set and the architecture of a RISC processor for programmable logic controller is suggested. From the measurement of existing programs, the characteristics of ladder instructions are analyzed. The instruction set is defined so that the existing ladder program can be reused with simple translation. Because bit instructions controls the behavior of word instructions, the processor suits for high level language like SFC. Simulations show that the PLC with the suggested processor is twenty times faster than the PLC with the multi-purpose microprocessor.
