Execution Trace Graph Based Multi-criteria Partitioning of Stream Programs

Marco Mattavelli, Simone Casale Brunet, Endri Bezati, Malgorzata Maria Michalska

One of the problems proven to be NP-hard in the field of many-core architectures is the partitioning of stream programs. In order to maximize the execution parallelism and obtain the maximal data throughput for a streaming application it is essential to fi ...

Performance Estimation of High-Level Dataflow Program on Heterogeneous Platforms

Marco Mattavelli, Simone Casale Brunet, Aurélien François Gilbert Bloch

The performance of programs written in languages following the dataflow model of computation (MoC) largely depends on the configuration (partitioning, mapping, scheduling, buffer dimensioning) chosen during the synthesis stages. Furthermore, this programmi ...

Synthesis And Optimization Of High-Level Stream Programs

Marco Mattavelli, Simone Casale Brunet, Endri Bezati

In this paper we address the problem of translating high-level stream programs, such as those written in MPEG's RVC-CAL dataflow language, into implementations in programmable hardware. Our focus is on two aspects: sufficient language coverage to make synt ...

An Heterogeneous Compiler Of Dataflow Programs For Zynq Platforms

Marco Mattavelli, Endri Bezati, Simone Casale Brunet, Romuald Mosqueron

In recent years, the number and variety of heterogeneous multiprocessor system-on-chip MPSoCs, such as for instance Zynq platforms, has sensibly increased. However, today all design flow solutions capable of programming the different components of such pla ...

Buffer dimensioning for throughput improvement of dynamic dataflow signal processing applications on multi-core platforms

Marco Mattavelli, Simone Casale Brunet, Endri Bezati, Malgorzata Maria Michalska

Executing a dataflow program on a parallel platform requires assigning to each buffer a given size so that correct program executions take place without introducing any deadlock. Furthermore, in the case of dynamic dataflow programs, specific buffer size a ...

Automated Design Flow for Multi-Functional Dataflow-Based Platforms

Marco Mattavelli, Endri Bezati, Simone Casale Brunet

The implementation of processing platforms supporting multiple applications by runtime reconfigurations on dedicated hardware modules requires the solution of different problems. These problems are notably not-trivial since both platform and application co ...

A Methodology For Optimizing Buffer Sizes Of Dynamic Dataflow Fpgas Implementations

Marco Mattavelli, Simone Casale Brunet, Claudio Paolo Alberti, Ab Al Hadi Bin Ab Rahman

Minimizing buffer sizes of dynamic dataflow implementations without introducing deadlocks or reducing the design performance is in general an important and useful design objective. Indeed, buffer sizes that are too small causing a system to deadlock during ...

Porting an MPEG-HEVC decoder to a low-power many-core platform

Marco Mattavelli, Simone Casale Brunet, Claudio Paolo Alberti, Damien Jack De Saint Jorre

After several generations of video coding standards, MPEG High Efficient Video Coding (HEVC) is likely to emerge as the video coding standards for HD and Ultra-HD TV. HEVC decoding is expected to be less computationally demanding and to provide a higher le ...

Methods to explore design space for MPEG RMC codec specifications

Marco Mattavelli, Endri Bezati, Simone Casale Brunet, Ghislain Roquier, Richard Thavot

The recent MPEG Reconfigurable Media Coding (RMC) standard aims at defining media processing specifications (e.g. video codecs) in a form that abstracts from the implementation platform, but at the same time is an appropriate starting point for implementat ...
