The Green Quality Function Deployment method is an integrated design method. This study creates the Green Quality Function Deployment method, uses the Green Quality Function Deployment method in a 187-subject business management case study, and presents the Green Quality Function Deployment method case study results This study shows that the Green Quality Function Deployment method is a design method, shows that the Green Quality Function Deployment method can be used for business management, and shows therefore that design methods can be used for business management.

This work is motivated by the advance of hetero geneous computing and the strong demands of workload acceler ation in practice. By considering pipeline workloads over FPGA, this paper explores a systematic methodology to configure the hardware instances of each pipeline stage such that the maximum of the execution time of each stage is minimized, where the FPGA allocation with the memory bandwidth constraint is considered.For the target problem, an algorithm is proposed and proved being optimal, and a real implementation study is conducted. In the experimental results, an image filter FPGA implementation can outperform the CPU, GPU, and baseline FPGA solutions by 460%,73%, and 1 0 30%, respectively. Extensive simulations were also conducted with a large FPGA size to show the scalability of this work.
