  • Although non-binary low-density parity-check (NB-LDPC) codes have better error-correction capability than that of binary LDPC codes, their decoding complexity is significantly higher. Therefore, it is crucial to reduce the decoding complexity of NB-LDPC while maintaining their error-correction capability to adopt them for various applications. The extended min-sum (EMS) algorithm is widely used for decoding NB-LDPC codes, and it reduces the complexity of check node (CN) operations via message truncation. Herein, we propose a low-cost CN processing method to reduce the complexity of CN operations, which take most of the decoding time. Unlike existing studies on low complexity CN operations, the proposed method employs quick selection algorithm, thereby reducing the hardware complexity and CN operation time. The experimental results show that the proposed selection-based CN operation is more than three times faster and achieves better error-correction performance than the conventional EMS algorithm.

  • In this paper, we present an efficient hardware architecture of unrolling image mapper of catadioptric omnidirectional imaging systems. The catadioptric omnidirectional imaging systems generate images of 360 degrees of view and need to be transformed into panorama images in rectangular coordinate. In most application, it has to perform the panorama unrolling in real-time and at low-cost, especially for high-resolution images. The proposed hardware architecture adopts a software/hardware cooperative structure and employs several optimization schemes using look-up-table(LUT) of coordinate conversion. To avoid the on-line division operation caused by the coordinate transformation algorithm, the proposed architecture has the LUT which has pre-computed division factors. And then, the amount of memory used by the LUT is reduced to 1/4 by using symmetrical characteristic compared with the conventional architecture. Experimental results show that the proposed hardware architecture achieves an effective real-time performance and lower implementation cost, and it can be applied to other kinds of catadioptric omnidirectional imaging systems.

  • 디지털 멀티미디어 방송 (DMB)에 사용되는 영상 압축 기법인 H.264는 기존 기법에 비해 매우 높은 압축률을 보이지만 요구되는 하드웨어 크기 및 전력 소모도 기존 기법의 $3{\sim}5$배에 달한다. 따라서 상업적인 디지털 멀티미디어 방송 단말기를 위해서는 하드웨어 크기 및 전력 소모를 크게 줄인 H.264 복호기 SoC가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 H.264 복호기 SoC를 구성하는 주요 블록의 저전력 설계 및 구현에 대해 논한다.

  • This paper presents compact cryptographic hardware architecture suitable for the Mobile Trusted Module (MTM) that requires low-area and low-power characteristics. The built-in cryptographic engine in the MTM is one of the most important circuit blocks and contributes to the performance of the whole platform because it is used as the key primitive supporting digital signature, platform integrity and command authentication. Unlike personal computers, mobile platforms have very stringent limitations with respect to available power, physical circuit area, and cost. Therefore special architecture and design methods for a compact cryptographic hardware module are required. The proposed cryptographic hardware has a chip area of 38K gates for RSA and 12.4K gates for unified SHA-1 and SHA-256 respectively on a 0.25um CMOS process. The current consumption of the proposed cryptographic hardware consumes at most 3.96mA for RSA and 2.16mA for SHA computations under the 25MHz.

  • In this paper, we propose a new hardware architecture for integer transform, quantizer operation of a new video coding standard H.264/JVT. We describe the algorithm to derive hardware architecture emphasizing the importance of area for low cost and low power consumption. The proposed architecture has been verified by PCI-interfaced emulation board using APEX-II Altera FPGA and also by ASIC synthesis using Samsung 0.18 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS cell library. The ASIC synthesis result shows that the proposed hardware can operate at 100 MHz, processing more than 1, 300 QCIF video frames per second. The hardware is going to be used as a core module when implementing a complete H.264 video encoder/decoder ASIC for real-time multimedia application.

  • Real-time 3D visualization of large datasets imposes a distributed architecture of the rendering system and dedicated hardware for image composition. Previous work on this domain has relied on prohibitively expensive cluster systems with hardware composition done by complicated schemes. In this paper we propose a low-cost hardware compositor fur a high performance visualization cluster. We show the system's design and the results obtained using Simulink [1] for our image composition scheme.

  • In this paper, the induction motor rotor fault diagnosis system using current signals, which are measured using axis-transformation method, and speed, which is estimated using current information, are presented. In inverter-fed motor drives unlike line-driven motor drives the stator currents have numerous harmonics components and therefore fault diagnosis using stator currents is very difficult. The current and speed signal for rotor fault diagnosis needs to be precise. Also, high resolution information, which means the diagnosis system, demands additional hardware such as low pass filter, high resolution ADC, encoder and etc. Therefore, the proposed axis-transformation and speed estimation method are expected to contribute to low cost fault diagnosis systems in inverter-fed motor drives without the need for an encoder and any additional hardware. In order to confirm validity of the developed algorithms, various experiments for rotor faults are tested and the line current spectrum of each faulty situation using Park transformation and speed estimation method are compared with the results obtained from fast Fourier transforms.

  • This paper presents a low-cost two-stage approximate multiplier for bfloat16 (brain floating-point) data processing. For cost-efficient approximate multiplication, the first stage implements Mitchell's algorithm that performs the approximate multiplication using only two adders. The second stage adopts the exact multiplication to compensate for the error from the first stage by multiplying error terms and adding its truncated result to the final output. In our design, the low-cost multiplications in both stages can reduce hardware costs significantly and provide low relative errors by compensating for the error from the first stage. We apply our approximate multiplier to the convolutional neural network (CNN) inferences, which shows small accuracy drops with well-known pre-trained models for the ImageNet database. Therefore, our design allows low-cost CNN inference systems with high test accuracy.
