HLS Based Approach to Develop an Implementable HDR Algorithm
摘要： Hardware suitability of an algorithm can only be verified when the algorithm is actually implemented in the hardware. By hardware, we indicate system on chip (SoC) where both processor and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) are available. Our goal is to develop a simple algorithm that can be implemented on hardware where high-level synthesis (HLS) will reduce the tiresome work of manual hardware description language (HDL) optimization. We propose an algorithm to achieve high dynamic range (HDR) image from a single low dynamic range (LDR) image. We use highlight removal technique for this purpose. Our target is to develop parameter free simple algorithm that can be easily implemented on hardware. For this purpose, we use statistical information of the image. While software development is verified with state of the art, the HLS approach confirms that the proposed algorithm is implementable to hardware. The performance of the algorithm is measured using four no-reference metrics. According to the measurement of the structural similarity (SSIM) index metric and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), hardware simulated output is at least 98.87 percent and 39.90 dB similar to the software simulated output. Our approach is novel and effective in the development of hardware implementable HDR algorithm from a single LDR image using the HLS tool.

A High-Level Synthesis Implementation and Evaluation of an Image Processing Accelerator
摘要： Most frequently, an FPGA is used as an implementation platform in applications of graphics processing, as its structure can effectively exploit both spatial and temporal parallelism. Such parallelization techniques involve fundamental restrictions, namely being their dependence on both the processing model and the system’s hardware constraints, that can force the designer to restructure the architecture and the implementation. Predesigned accelerators can significantly assist the designer to solve this problem and meet his deadlines. In this paper, we present our accelerators for Grayscale and Sobel Edge Detection, two of the most fundamental algorithms used in digital image processing projects. We have implemented those algorithms with a “bare-metal” VHDL design, written purely by hand, as a portable USB accelerator device, as well as an HLS-based overlay of a similar implementation designed to be used by a Python interface. The comparisons of the two architectures showcase that the HLS generated design can perform equally to or even better than the handwritten HDL equivalent, especially when the correct compiler directives are provided.

摘要： Low-density parity-check (LDPC) block codes are popular forward error correction schemes due to their capacity-approaching characteristics. However, the realization of LDPC decoders that meet both low latency and high throughput is not a trivial challenge. Usually, this has been solved with the ASIC and FPGA technology that enables meeting the decoder design constraints. But the rise of parallel architectures, such as graphics processing units, and the scaling of CPU streaming extensions has shown that multicore and many-core technology can provide a flexible alternative to the development of dedicated LDPC decoders for the compute-intensive prototyping phase of the design of new codes. Under this light, this paper surveys the most relevant publications made in the past decade to programmable LDPC decoders. It looks at the advantages and disadvantages of parallel architectures and data-parallel programming models, and assesses how the design space exploration is pursued regarding key characteristics of the underlying code and decoding algorithm features. This paper concludes with a set of open problems in the field of communication systems on parallel programmable and reconfigurable architectures.
