In this paper, we present a multi-core processor including multimedia specific instructions to process multimedia data efficiently in the mobile environment. Multimedia specific instructions exploit subword level parallelism (SLP), while the multi-core processor exploits data level parallelism (DLP). These combined parallelisms improve the performance of multimedia processing applications. The proposed multi-core processor including multimedia specific instructions is implemented and tested using a Xilinx ISE 10.1 tool and SoCMaster3 testbed system including Vertex 4 FPGA. Experimental results using a fire detection algorithm show that multimedia specific instructions outperform baseline instructions in the same multi-core architecture in terms of performance (1.2x better), energy efficiency (1.37x better), and area efficiency (1.23x better).

In the past time, the protection relay did only a protection function. Currently, its upgraded device i.e. IED(Intelligent Electric Device) has been designed to protect, control, and monitor the whole power system automatically. Also the device is desired to successfully measure important elements of the power system. This paper considers design method of a digital protection IED with a function of measuring various elements and a communication function. The protection IED is composed of the specific function modules that are signal process module, communication module, input/output module and main control module. A signal process module use a DSP processor for analysis of input signal. Main control module use a embedded processor, Xscale, that has an ARM Core. The communication protocol uses IEC61850 protocol that becomes standard in the future. The protection IED is able to process mass information with high-performance processor. As each function module is designed individually, the reliability of the device can be enhanced.

To meet the usage of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) on potable devices, this paper implements 2-level DWT using a reference many-core processor architecture and determine the optimal many-core processor. To explore the optimal many-core processor, we evaluate the impacts of a data-per-processing element ratio that is defined as the amount of data mapped directly to each processing element (PE) on system performance, energy efficiency, and area efficiency, respectively. This paper utilized five PE configurations (PEs=16, 64, 256, 1,024, and 4,096) that were implemented in 130nm CMOS technology with a 720MHz clock frequency. Experimental results indicated that maximum energy and area efficiencies were achieved at PEs=1,024. However, the system area must be limited 140mm2 and the power should not exceed 3 watts in order to implement 2-level DWT on portable devices. When we consider these restrictions, the most reasonable energy and area efficiencies were achieved at PEs=256.

This paper describes the design and implementation of an application specific instruction-set processor developed for embedded DSP applications. The instruction-set has an uniform size of 16 bits, and supports 3 types of instructions: Primitive, Complex, and Specific. To reduce code size and cycle count we introduce complex instructions that can be selected according to the application under consideration, which leads to 50% code size reduction maximally. The processor has two independent data memories to double the data throughput and the address space. The processor is synthesized by 0.6$\mu$m single-poly double-metal technology. Critical path simulation shows that the maximum frequency is 110MHz and total gate count is 132, 000.

4 32-bit RISC core is designed for embedded application and DSP. This processor offers low power consumption by fully static operation and compact code size by efficient instruction set. Processor performance is improved by wing conditional instruction execution, block data transfer instruction, multiplication instruction, bunked register file structure. To support compact code size of embedded application, It is capable cf executing both 16-bit instructions and 32-bit instruction through mixed mode instruction conversion Furthermore, for fast MAC operation for DSP applications, the processor has a dedicated hardware multiplier, which can complete a 32-bit by 32-bit integer multiplication within seven clock cycles. These result in high instruction throughput and real-time interrupt response. This chip is implemented with 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, 4- metal CMOS technology and consists of about 50K gate equivalents.

The embedded processor market has grown rapidly and consistently with the appearance of mobile devices. In an embedded system, the power consumption and execution time are important factors affecting the performance. The system performance is determined by both hardware and software. Although the hardware architecture is high-end, the software runs slowly due to the low quality of codes. This study compared the performance of two major compilers, LLVM and GCC on a32-bit EISC embedded processor. The dynamic instructions and static code sizes were evaluated from these compilers with the EEMBC benchmarks.LLVM generally performed better in the ALU intensive benchmarks, whereas GCC produced a better register allocation and jump optimization. The dynamic instruction count and static code of GCCwere on average 8% and 7% lower than those of LLVM, respectively.

본 논문은 고신뢰성 임베디드 시스템의 핵심 부품인 risc 프로세서에 forward 기반의 오류복원 기법을 적용한 fetch redundant risc(FRR) 프로세서와 backward 기반의 오류복원 기법을 적용한 redundancy execute risc(RER) 프로세서를 연구하였다. 제안된 프로세서의 고장감내 성능을 평가하기 위해서 base risc, FRR, RER 프로세서의 SystemC 모델을 제작하고 SystemC 기반 fault injection 기법을 이용하여 오류주입 시험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 세 프로세서의 고장률은 1-bit transient fault를 주입한 경우에는 고장률이 FRR 프로세서는 1%, RER 프로세서는 2.8%, base risc 프로세서는 8.9%로 확인되었으며, 1-bit permanent fault를 주입한 경우 FRR 프로세서는 4.3%, RER 프로세서는 6,5%, base RISC 프로세서는 41%로 확인되었다. 따라서 1-bit 오류가 발생하는 경우에는 FRR 프로세서가 가장 높은 신뢰성을 나타내는 것으로 판명되었다.

Due to the recent increase of the importance and demand of security services, the importance of a surveillance monitor system that makes an automatic security system possible is increasing. As the market for surveillance monitor systems is growing, price competitiveness is becoming important. As a result of this trend, surveillance monitor systems based on an embedded system are widely used. In this paper, an object detection algorithm based on an embedded system for a surveillance monitor system is introduced. To apply the object detection algorithm to the embedded system, the most important issue is the efficient use of resources, such as memory and processors. Therefore, designing an appropriate algorithm considering the limit of resources is required. The proposed algorithm uses two background models; therefore, the embedded system is designed to have two independent processors. One processor checks the sub-background models for if there are any changes with high update frequency, and another processor makes the main background model, which is used for object detection. In this way, a background model will be made with images that have no objects to detect and improve the object detection performance. The object detection algorithm utilizes one-dimensional histogram distribution, which makes the detection faster. The proposed object detection algorithm works fast and accurately even in a low-priced embedded system.
