Abstract:

Currently, many machine vision, signal and image processing problems are solved on personal computers due to the low cost involved in these computers and the many excellent software tools that exist, such as MATLAB. However, computationally expensive tasks require the use of multi-processor computers that are expensive and difficult to use efficiently due to communications between the processors. In these cases, FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) are the best choice but they are not as widely used because of lack of experience in using these devices, difficulties with algorithmic translation and immaturity of the design and implementation tools for FPGAs. Programming languages are always evolving and the programming languages for microprocessors have evolved significantly, from functional and procedural languages to object-oriented languages. Nowadays, a new paradigm called aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) is becoming more widespread. However, hardware programming languages have not evolved to the same extent as the software programming languages for microprocessors. They are still dominated by the technologies developed in 1980s, which have significant deficiencies described in this thesis. Recent advances in HDLs (Hardware Description Languages) have taken a conservative approach based on well-proven software techniques.

Abstract:

The need for a more general hardware description language aimed specifically at processors, and vague notions and visions of how that language would be realized, lead to this thesis. The aim was to use the visions and initial ideas to evolve and formalize a language and begin implementing the tools to use it. The language, called NoGAP Common Language, is designed to give the programmer freedom to implement almost any processor design without being encumbered by many of the tedious tasks normally present in the creation process. While evolving the language it was chosen to borrow syntaxes from C++ and verilog to make the code and concepts easy to understand. The main advantages of NoGAP Common Language compared to RTL languages are;

-the ability to define the data paths of instructions separate from each other and have them merged automatically along with assigned timings to form the pipeline.

-having control paths automatically routed by activating named clauses of code coupled to control signals.

-being able to specify a decoder, where the instructions and control structures are defined, that control signals are routed to.

The implemented compiler was created with C++, Bison, and Flex and utilizes an AST structure, a symbol table, and a connection graph. The AST is traversed by several functions to generate the connection graph where the instructions of the processor can be merged into a pipeline. The compiler is in the early stages of development and much is left to do and solve. It has become clear though that the concepts of NoGAP Common Language can be implemented and are not just visions.

Behovet av ett mer generellt hårdvarubeskrivande språk specialiseret för processorer och visioner om ett sådant gav upphov till detta examensarbete. Målet var att utveckla visionerna, formalisera dem till ett fungerande språk och börja implementera dess verktyg. Språket, som kallas NoGAP Common Language, är designat för att ge programmeraren friheten att implementera nästan vilken processordesign som helst utan att bli nedtyngd av många av de enformiga uppgifter som annars måste utföras. Under utvecklingsprocessen valdes det att låna många syntax från C++ och verilog för att göra språket lätt att förstå och känna igen för många. De största fördelarna med att utveckla i NoGAP Common Language jämfört

med vanliga RTL språk som verilog är;

-att kunna specificera datavägar för instruktioner separat från varandra och få dem automatiskt förenade med hjälp av tidsangivelser till en pipeline.

-att få kontrollvägar automatiskt dragna genom att aktivera namngivna klausuler med kod kopplade till kontrollsignaler.

-att kunna specifiera en avkodare som kontrollvägarna kan kopplas till där

kodning för instruktioner kan anges.

Kompilatorn som implementerats med C++, Bison och Flex använder sig av en AST struktur, en symboltabell och en signalvägsgraf. AST strukturen traverseras av flera funktioner som bygger upp signalvägsgrafen där processorns instruktioner förenas till en pipeline. Utvecklingen av kompilatorn är ännu bara i de första stadierna och mycket är kvar att göra och lösa. Det har dock blivit klart att det är möjligt att implementera koncepten i NoGAP Common Language och att de inte bara är lösa visioner.

Abstract:

Unified Modeling Language (UML) allows software engineers to use a standard way of expressing a design approach at a high level. The benefits of system modeling are well accepted in the software development community. Modeling of Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) designs, for synthesizing into hardware, is a common practice also. The research herein looks at system modeling of a design using UML, in which there are both software and hardware components. The idea is to explore modeling of the system with the ability to abstract whether the implementation of a particular function is realized in software or hardware. The designer can then model/evaluate a given system design approach and later allocate functions to software and hardware, as appropriate to meet constraints such as performance, cost, schedule. Since using UML for software is a standard approach, this research investigates the UML to hardware path via VHDL.

Abstract:

This thesis presents the work done on a design automation system in which high-level synthesis is integrated with logic synthesis. DIADESfa design automation system developed at PSU, starts the synthesis process from a language called ADL. The major part of this thesis deals with transforming the ADL -based DIADES system into a VHDL -based DIADES system. In this thesis I have upgraded and modified the existing DIADES system so that it becomes a preprocessor to a comprehensive VHDL -based design system from Mentor Graphics. The high-level synthesis in the DIADES system includes two stages: data path synthesis and control unit synthesis. The conversion of data path synthesis is done in this thesis. In the DIADES system a digital system is described on the behavioral level in terms of variables and operations using the language ADL. The digital system described in ADL is compiled to a format called GRAPH language. In the GRAPH language the behavior of a digital system is represented by a specific sequence of program statements. The descriptions in the GRAPH language is compiled to a format called STRU CT language. The system is described in the STRU CT language in terms of lists of nodes and arrows. The main task of this thesis is to convert the descriptions in the GRAPH language and the descriptions in the STRUCT language to the VHDL format. All the generated VHDL Code will be Mentor Graphics VHDL format compatible, and all the VHDL code can be compiled, simulated and synthesised by the Mentor Graphics tools.

Resumo: Em um passado recente os sistemas eram constituídos de partes discretas tais como microprocessadores, memórias e Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). Essa separação clara e simples tornava possível a especificação ser feita por uns poucos projetistas utilizando uma abordagem top-down: a partir de um modelo comportamental ou Register-Transfer Level (descritos em VHDL, por exemplo), progressivamente refinando o modelo ate o nível Transistor-to-Transistor. Entretanto, o avanço contínuo do processo de miniaturização de transistores possibilitou a criação de sistemas completos integrados em um único chip (também chamados de System-on-chip). Dado que esses sistemas s~ao tipicamente constituídos por diversos componentes complexos, um nível mais alto de abstração - o de sistema - foi criado, juntamente com suas linguagens associadas (como a linguagem SystemC), para facilitar o trabalho dos projetistas. As linguagens utilizadas para modelar no nível de sistema são diferentes das linguagens utilizadas para modelar nos níveis comportamental e Register-Transfer. Assim, surge o problema de como co-verificar componentes descritos em diferentes níveis de abstração; característica desejável para projetos de grande porte, já que fornece uma garantia de interoperabilidade entre os componentes no sistema final. Este trabalho, então, apresenta uma metodologia para resolver o problema de co-simulação entre a linguagem de descrição de hardware VHDL e a linguagem de descrição de sistema SystemC através do uso da Verilog Procedural Interface (VPI). Alem da metodologia em si, descreve-se o trabalho no sentido de criar um arcabouço para validar a metodologia e testes comparativos entre a implementação feita e uma ferramenta comercial popular.
Abstract: In a recent past, systems were mostly constituted by well-separated parts such as microprocessors, memories and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). That simple and clear organization allowed entire systems to be designed by only a few designers through a top-down approach: from the behavioral or register transfer model (using VHDL, for instance) advancing to the transistor-to-transistor level. However, the continuous advance of the process of shrinking transistors made it possible to create entire systems integrated in a single die (called System-on-chip). Because these systems are usually constituted by many complex components, a higher abstraction level - the system level - was created, together with the associated languages, to ease the work of the designers. The languages used to model on the system level are diferent from the languages used to model on the behavioral and register-transfer levels. Therefore, the problem of how to co-verify components written in diferent abstraction levels arises; this co-verification is desirable for big projects, since it provides a way to check if the components of the target system are working together. This project presents a methodology to solve the co-simulation problem between the hardware description language VHDL and the system description languagem SystemC through the use of the Verilog Procedural Interface (VPI). We describe the methodology and also describe the framework used to validate the methodology and comparative tests between this framework and a well-known comercial tool.

Abstract:

FPGAs are of interest in the signal processing domain as they provide the opportunity to run algorithms at very high speed. One possible use case is to sort incoming data in a measurement system, using e.g. a histogram method. Developing code for FPGA applications usually requires knowledge about special languages, which are not common knowledge in the signal processing domain. High-level synthesis is an approach where high-level languages, as MATLAB or C++, can be used together with a code generation tool, to directly generate an FPGA ready output. This thesis uses the development of a histogram as a test case to investigate the efficiency of three different tools, HDL Coder in MATLAB, HDL Coder in Simulink and System Generator for DSP in comparison to the direct development of the same histogram in Vivado using Verilog. How to write and structure code in these tools for proper functionality was also examined. It has been found that all tools deliver an operation frequency comparable to a direct implementation in Verilog, decreased resource usage, a development time which decreased by 27% (HDL Coder in MATLAB), 45% (System Generator) and 64% (HDL Coder in Simulink) but at the cost of increased power consumption. Instructions for how to use all three tools has been collected and summarised.
I ingångssteget på ett mätsystem är det av intresse att använda en FPGA för att uppnå höga hastigheter på de oundvikliga datafiltrering och sorterings algoritmer som körs. Ett problem med FPGAer är att utvecklingen ställer höga krav på specifik kunskap gällande utvecklingsspråk och miljöer vilket för en person specialiserad inom t.ex. signalbehandling kan saknas helt. HLS är en metodik där högnivåspråk kan användas för digital design genom att nyttja ett verktyg för automatgenerering av kod. I detta arbete har utveckling av ett histogram använts som testfall för att utvärdera effektivitet samt designmetodik av tre olika HLS verktyg, HDL Coder till MATLAB, HDL Coder till Simulink och System Generator for DSP. Utvecklingen i dessa verktyg har jämförts mot utvecklingen av samma histogram i Vivado, där språket Verilog använts. Arbetets slutsater är att samtliga verktyg som testats leverar en arbetsfrekvens som är jämförbar med att skriva histogrammet direkt i Verilog, en minskad resursanvändning, utvecklingstid som minskat med 27% (HDL Coder i MATLAB), 45% (System Generator) och 64% (HDL Coder i Simulink) men med en ökad strömförbrukning. En sammanställning av instruktioner för utveckling med hjälp av verktygen har även gjorts.

Resumo: O eletrocardiograma (ECG) é uma ferramenta utilizada para o diagnóstico de cardiopatias e outras doenças. Este trabalho tem como objetivo a detecção do complexo QRS, com foco na onda R, que representa a contração dos ventrículos. Para isso, são apresentadas duas técnicas de processamento do sinal de ECG. A primeira utiliza o algoritmo proposto por Pan & Tompkins que consiste em um banco de filtros digitais. A segunda faz uso da transformada wavelet discreta, que permite a localização de características de sinais tanto no tempo quanto na frequência. É apresentado um comparativo da eficácia dos dois algoritmos com base na sua implementação através de FPGA, utilizando dois métodos, o processamento serial em microcontrolador programado em C e o paralelo inteiramente em VHDL, com o intuito de comparar os tempos de processamento. Os resultados sugerem que trabalhos futuros poderão ser baseados na investigação de outras famílias wavelets para a detecção do complexo QRS em sinais de ECG, bem como explorar outros métodos de implementação de filtros em FPGA.

Abstract:

Verification and debug of integrated circuits for embedded applications has grown in importance as the complexity in function has increased dramatically over time. Various modeling and debugging techniques have been developed to overcome the overwhelming challenge. This thesis attempts to address verification and debug methods by presenting an accurate C model at the bit and algorithm level coupled with an implemented Hardware Description Language (HDL). Key concepts such as common signal and variable naming conventions are incorporated as well as a stepping function within the implemented HDL. Additionally, a common interface between low-level drivers and C models is presented for early firmware development and system debug. Finally, selfchecking verification is discussed for delivering multiple test cases along with testbench portability.

Abstract:

Modern processor architectures suffer from an ever increasing gap between processor and memory performance. The current memory-register model attempts to hide this gap by a system of cache memory. Line Associative Registers(LARs) are proposed as a new system to avoid the memory gap by pre-fetching and associative updating of both instructions and data. This thesis presents a fully LAR-based architecture, targeting a previously developed instruction set architecture. This architecture features an execution pipeline supporting SWAR operations, and a memory system supporting the associative behavior of LARs and lazy writeback to memory.
