Bio-Inspired Self-Testing and Self-Organizing Processing Arrays

Conference Papers

Abstract

Inspired by the basic processes of molecular biology, our previous studies resulted in defining a configurable molecule implementing self-replication and self-repair mechanisms made up of simple processes. The goal of our paper is to add error detection features to the molecule in order to make it able to perform also built-in self-test mechanisms. The hardware description of the molecule with all its self-organizing mechanisms leads to the simulation of an image processing array dedicated to thresholding and boolean operations.

Digital image processing

Digital image processing is the use of a digital computer to process s through an algorithm. As a subcategory or field of digital signal processing, digital image processing has many advantages over . It allows a much wider range of algorithms to be applied to the input data and can avoid problems such as the build-up of noise and distortion during processing. Since images are defined over two dimensions (perhaps more) digital image processing may be modeled in the form of multidimensional systems.

Hardware description language

In computer engineering, a hardware description language (HDL) is a specialized computer language used to describe the structure and behavior of electronic circuits, and most commonly, digital logic circuits. A hardware description language enables a precise, formal description of an electronic circuit that allows for the automated analysis and simulation of an electronic circuit.

Hardware acceleration

Hardware acceleration is the use of computer hardware designed to perform specific functions more efficiently when compared to software running on a general-purpose central processing unit (CPU). Any transformation of data that can be calculated in software running on a generic CPU can also be calculated in custom-made hardware, or in some mix of both. To perform computing tasks more quickly (or better in some other way), generally one can invest time and money in improving the software, improving the hardware, or both.
