A modular hardware accelerator (MHA) is designed to provide a platform to interface with any computation algorithm (engine). The main blocks in MHA include a hardware accelerator adapter unit, scheduler unit, storage unit, power management unit, and workload generator (WG) unit. The current paper proposes a design of the WG for MHA. The WG unit will maintain the sequence of tasks that will be executed by the engine. The WG unit implements a 64-bit address bus, a 128-bit data bus, and a maximum request data length of 1024 double word to the main memory, with processing speed of 100 MHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
