The AMR system is composed by reader devices and a group of elements that allow a wireless connection to a central server. The system is based on taking a picture of the fluid meter digit display, preprocessing and transmitting it to a remote element using a radio frequency ad-hoc protocol. The reader device is implemented on a FPGA based system and the firmware can be updated remotely (remote reconfiguration). In addition, the different parameters of the reader can be configured remotely. To meet the low power requirements a sleep and wake-up technique is applied. All the requirements of the system have been covered, offering a hardware-software product that covers most needs of the end users.","PeriodicalId":419253,"journal":{"name":"2007 3rd Southern Conference on Programmable Logic","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114306275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents the use of reconfigurable logic based hardware-software co-design, to deal with such tasks as the ones related to the electronic collimation architecture used on gamma cameras. The readout circuitry has been implemented as dedicated logic and as an embedded system that contains it. Both are studied in terms of scalability in the number of channels and response time. This number of channels and the speed of acquisition of such channels define the overall performance achieved by the technique. A typical scenario of electronic collimation application, using a high purity pixelated CdZnTe crystal as the sensitive material with a pixellated anode design, is the base of this performance study. The results of this study are the exact design parameters of an FPGA based embedded system that performs all tasks associated with the control of an electronic collimator prototype.","PeriodicalId":419253,"journal":{"name":"2007 3rd Southern Conference on Programmable Logic","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125678492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The state-of-the-art approach, proposed by (S.-H. Yang et al., 2005), uses a parallel algorithm to achieve high speed operation. Based on it, an area and speed efficient VLSI architecture was designed. However, as the size of the input image increases, the area cost increases as well. This paper proposes an optimization for the method from (S.-H. Yang et al., 2005), achieving considerable area cost reduction, mainly when large images are considered. The area economy is accomplished by processing the input image in partitions of columns. This way, the higher the number of columns of the input image, the greater will be the area cost reduction.","PeriodicalId":419253,"journal":{"name":"2007 3rd Southern Conference on Programmable Logic","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128154332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared with most commercial methods, this translator is able to carry out the translation in hardware instead of using software. To achieve the fast translation, a FPGA with big programmable resource has been utilized, and an algorithm, proposed by Paul Blenkhorn, has been revised to perform the fast translation. The translator has been described using very high speed integrated circuit hardware description language (VHDL). The test results indicate that the hardware-based translator achieves the same results as software-based commercial translators, and moreover, this system achieves superior throughput compared to Blenkhorn's original algorithm.","PeriodicalId":419253,"journal":{"name":"2007 3rd Southern Conference on Programmable Logic","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130135885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High-level tools for developing reconfigurable computing applications trade performance with ease-of-use. However, it is hard to know in a general sense how much performance and utilization one is giving up and how much ease-of-use he/she is gaining. More importantly, given the lack of standards and the uncertainty generated by sales literature, it is very hard to know the real differences that exist among different high-level programming paradigms. In order to do so, one needs a formal methodology and/or a framework that uses a common set of metrics and common experiments over a number of representative tools. In this work, we consider three representative high-level tools, Impulse-C, Mitrion-C, and DSPLogic in the Cray XD1 environment. These tools were selected to represent imperative programming, functional programming and graphical programming, and thereby demonstrate the applicability of our methodology. It will be shown that in spite of the disparity in concepts behind those tools, our methodology will be able to formally uncover the basic differences among them and analytically assess their comparative performance, utilization, and ease-of-use.","PeriodicalId":419253,"journal":{"name":"2007 3rd Southern Conference on Programmable Logic","volume":"509 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116331555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Presented in the paper there is a Virtual Digitizing architecture that takes the advantages of reconfigurable computing (using field programmable gate arrays) in order to improve the algorithm efficiency. FPGAs are used as low cost and low frequency coprocessor to accelerate the calculation of tool path, meeting the actual restrictions of the computer numeric controls (CNCs) at the same time.
