“…A parte em softwareé um programa que lida com o processamento factual e execucional em núcleo Von Neumann comum. Uma implementação desta arquitetura foi feita em lógica reconfigurável (FPGA) e significativamente reduziu o número de ciclos de clock necessários para executar as tarefas quando comparado com Framework PON C++ [17].…”

The parallelism allowed by FPGAs has attracted attention for knowing applications that need processing power. However, the need for specific and very technical development language has not stimulate its broad use. As an alternative, there are High-level Synthesis Languages (HSL), which allow less complicated FPGA use. However, they do not tend to take full advantage of the FPGA technology. Therefore, another alternative was developed, based on the Notification Oriented Paradigm (NOP), called NOP for Digital Hardware (NOP-DH). NOP allows development in high level with its rule-oriented language called NOPL. Its entity decoupling, parallelism, and redundancy avoidance are useful for best performance. In turn, the NOP-DH brings NOP for the FPGA context with the benefits observed in software but enhanced by hardware nature. This paper reviews the NOPL for NOP-DH (NOPL-DH) that aims high level programming for FPGA. The paper proposes the NOPL-DH test by independent developers, by developing a monitoring device for a box transporting bidirectional conveyer. As a result, NOPL-DH allowed high-level development under the NOP-DH structure in an FPGA, without the need for technical knowledge and, still, maintaining and exploring the NOP properties in FPGA

“…These approaches include: NOP frameworks (in C++, C#, Java. and Elixir), allowing the implementation of NOP software, for von Neumann architecture, using typical OOP abstractions such as classes and objects, but now under notification approach of-course [16], [18]; prototype of a language and compiler called NOPL, for von Neumann architecture, that allow generating low-level language, namely C/C++, but under the NOP background [16]; circuit templates called NOP Digital Hardware (DH), afterward associated with new version of NOPL that allow the high-level implementation, in total conformance with NOP principles, of a determined application in reconfigurable hardware [13]; and a NOP co-processor (CoNOP), which is based on NOP-DH and can be reconfigured for a determined application, thereby allowing the hybrid execution of the NOP inference process in collaboration with a von Neumann core [17], [20].…”

The Notification Oriented Paradigm (NOP) introduced a new organization of software and hardware logic based on notifications among computational entities. This NOP new organization avoids processing redundancy and allows processing unit decoupling, therefore permitting proper processing performance and processing parallelism/distribution. Thus, the NOP provides means to make efficient use of the parallel execution capabilities of modern computing systems. However, as expected, the execution dynamics of NOP, based on notifications, is not efficiently performed by the hardware of most current computing systems. This paper presents a new solution called Notification-Oriented Computer Architecture (NOCA), which is suitable for the execution of software developed according to the NOP computing model. The NOCA was designed according to principles of generality and scalability, which allow it to execute NOP software of any size by fetching the application from memory. The proposed architecture is organized as a fine-grained multiprocessor that hierarchically executes instructions through sets of specialized processing cores. Preliminary experiments performed on prototypal FPGA implementation of the NOCA showed the expected behavior of executing NOP applications according to its theoretical computing model. This paper also presents experiments performed on a NOCA simulator extending the scale of parallelization of applications. Results show improvements in maximizing the speedups at higher scales of parallelization, as well as minimizing the effects of processor-to-memory communication bottlenecks by reducing the number of required memory accesses during execution.

The application of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has brought a series of new challenges to the traditional Enterprise Information Systems (EIS). More and more networked manufacturing entities are combined with data sensing, collection, transmission, and actuation capabilities. EIS are now facing large amounts of heterogeneous data. To address this issue, this paper proposes a notification-oriented solution for the data-intensive EIS within a distributed, collaborative, and heterogeneous environment. The solution is then applied in terms of model to a cloud-based smart factory prototype. This work indicates the suitability of the proposition and discusses the existing drawbacks and perspectives that include the manual modelling process and the application on a prototype.
