提案编号：CNS 11- 26327 PI：Lee，Tai-Chi; Freed，Alan D; Hallouche，Farid; Kotsidou，Kassiani机构： 萨吉诺谷州立大学标题：MRI/开发人员：该项目旨在开发一种基于PARS技术的高性能计算仪器，该仪器具有多个数字信号处理器（DSP）和现场可编程现场阵列（FPGA）（以及一个具有自定义指令功能的嵌入式处理器，一个来自Altera EP 1C 12 NIOS II的开发工具），允许用户在Simulink环境中的整个系统上运行他们的应用程序，然后自动生成系统中多DSP和多FPGA的代码。该仪器所支持的研究活动预计将突出增加FPGA和DSP提供的并行处理和可重构能力的需求，并建议仪器在各个科学领域的重要应用。这些领域包括数学（数论，定点映射），计算机科学（数据结构，算法分析，计算机体系结构和网络）和工程。该仪器将服务于以下五个项目：-分形图像压缩，-椭圆曲线密码系统，-实验软组织力学，-图像处理，-超声波测量的DSP实现。更广泛的影响：该平台的收购将为来自多个学科的教师提供一个包括DSP和FPGA的并行平台，并向学生展示尖端计算。学生将接受使用新技术的培训，这些技术可能会通过提供训练有素的劳动力来影响经济萧条的地区。SVSU与中学教师和K-12有很好的联系。

Proposal #: CNS 11-26327PI(s): Lee, Tai-Chi; Freed, Alan D; Hallouche, Farid; Kotsidou, KassianiInstitution: Saginaw Valley State UniversityTitle: MRI/Dev.: Custom Platform with Parallel Application from Rapid Simulation (PARS) Interconnecting DSPs and FPGAs for High Performance Computing.Project Proposed:This project, developing an instrument for high performance computing based on PARS technology with multiple digital signal processors (DSP) and field programmable field arrays (FPGAs) (as well as inclusion of an embedded processor with custom instructions capability, a development tool from Altera EP1C12 NIOS II), allows users to run their applications on the entire system within the Simulink environment and then automatically generate code for multi-DSP and multi-FPGA in the system. The research activities enabled by this instrument are expected to spotlight the need for adding the capabilities of parallel processing and reconfigurability offered by FPGA and DSP, as well as suggest important applications of the instruments in various areas of science. These areas include mathematics (number theory, fixed point mapping), computer science (data structures, algorithm analysis, computer architectures, and networking), and engineering. The instrument will service the following five projects: - Fractal image compression, - Cryptosystem with elliptic curve, - Experimental soft-tissue mechanics, - Image processing, and - DSP implementation for measuring ultrasonic waves.Broader Impacts: The acquisition of the platform will provide the faculty members from many disciplines a parallel platform including both DSPs and FPGAs, and expose cutting-edge computing to students. Students will be trained in the use of new and novel technologies that might impact an economically depressed area by providing a trained workforce. SVSU has good outreach to secondary school teachers and K-12.
