Why choose this project topic?
The topic makes choosing which parts of a bounded computation should run in hardware a testable computer-engineering problem with visible interfaces and failure cases. Measuring latency, transfer cost and hardware utilisation helps a student compare design alternatives and explain how resource constraints affect the proposed implementation.
How do the selected hardware or embedded-software choices affect latency, transfer cost and hardware utilisation when choosing which parts of a bounded computation should run in hardware?
Choose an available development board or simulator, agree the supported interface and workload, and narrow choosing which parts of a bounded computation should run in hardware with your supervisor.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Specify the interfaces, operating assumptions and expected behaviour for choosing which parts of a bounded computation should run in hardware.
- 02Model an image or signal kernel, compare software-only and partitioned versions and account for transfer overhead and resource constraints.
- 03Measure latency, transfer cost and hardware utilisation and document failures, resource limits and reproducibility.
A suggested research approach
Model an image or signal kernel, compare software-only and partitioned versions and account for transfer overhead and resource constraints. Keep all tests on owned, simulated or approved low-voltage equipment. Record hardware and tool versions, compare output with an independent reference, and evaluate latency, transfer cost and hardware utilisation using normal, boundary and interrupted-operation cases.
What you will need
- Reference kernel
- Co-design simulation tools
- Documented interface assumptions
Keep your project scope clear
A simulated speed-up does not establish performance on an unbuilt target board. Project writing does not supply working firmware or manufactured hardware.
