A reconfigurable SIMD architecture on-chip

<p>This project targets the problems with design and implementation of Single Instruction </p><p>Multiple Data (SIMD) architectures in System-on-Chip (SoC), with the goal to construct </p><p>a reconfigurable framework in VHDL to ease this process. The resulting framework should </p><p>be implemented on an FPGA and its usability tested. The main parts of a SIMD archi- </p><p>tecture was identified to be the Control Unit (CU), the Processing Elements (PE) and </p><p>the Interconnection Network (ICN), and a framework was constructed with these parts </p><p>as the main building blocks. The constructed framework is reconfigurable in data width, </p><p>memory size, number of PEs, topology and instruction set. To test ease of use and per- </p><p>formance of the system a FIR-filter application was implemented. The scalability of the </p><p>system and its different parts has been measured and comparisons are illustrated.</p>
