Abstract:This paper presents a sequencer that accelerates matrix algorithms arising naturally in many multimedia and signal processing applications. The accelerator has been designed to carry out data management tasks common to these algorithms. A novel event-based parameter update mechanism allows production of continuously varying patterns to access triangular, banded and other irregular matrix structures. It has been verified that the accelerator significantly reduces the workload of the attached CPU for a wide rang… Show more
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.
