This work deals with the problem of developing embedded multi-core systems, under time-to-prototype and high performance constraints, by exploiting reconfigurable logic. In particular, the paper focuses on the early analysis activities, performed by means of native simulation technologies, and then on the full development of an embedded multi-core platform composed of four LEON3 soft-processors and...
We have developed a new image processing system based on MicroTCA that has advantages over PC-based systems in terms of robustness, flexibility, and scalability, due to its hotswappable modular architecture. The system was built with commercial off-the-shelf products to reduce development costs and time. It consists of a Camera Link FMC, a user-configurable Spartan6 FPGA AMC with an FMC slot and processor...
As FPGA resources continue to increase, FPGAs present attractive features to the High Performance Computing community. These include the power-efficient computation and application-specific acceleration benefits, as well as tighter integration between compute and I/O resources. This paper considers the ability of an FPGA to address another, increasingly important, feature - resiliency. Specifically,...
This paper addresses the hardware and software platforms for the control system of industrial robots, which are developed for high-reliability, easy-expansibility and high-openness. In order to get high-reliability, the hardware of controller consists of microcontroller ARM (advanced RISC machines) and FPGA, the software system consists of a real-time operating system which manages robot hardware,...
The Global Tracking Unit of the ALICE Transition Radiation Detector is a high-speed, low-latency trigger processor installed at the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Based on the analysis of up to 20,000 parametrized particle track segments per event, a trigger decision is formed within approx. 2 μs. Furthermore, the system is designed to significantly improve the overall detector performance...
In this paper we describe the design of a platform for experiments in the power quality area. The platform is intended for laboratory experiments as well as education on power quality methodologies and equipment. Nowadays, the power quality requires sophisticated approaches to get an efficient utilization of both: the electrical energy and the electrical installations and equipment. However, the real...
An example of an FPGA based application for a high-energy physics experiment is presented which features all facets of modern FPGA design. The special requirements here are high bandwidth (2.16 Tbit/s), low latency, and flexibility in the processing algorithm. The input data come optically via 1 080 links operating at 2.5 Gbit/s. The whole system is partitioned hierarchically in 18 groups of 5+1 modules...
Reconfigurable embedded system provides a flexible platform for hardware circuit implementation. Embedded systems often come with stringent performance and power requirements, leading the designers to incorporate special purpose hardware accelerator into their design. Furthermore, the tight timing requirement for the software design can be met using real time operating system. In this paper, we have...
