“…A JPEG encoding application is applied on a software model based on UMPPerComp, and the basic protocol is verified. Then, we examined the possibility of implementing part of the execution modules on UMP system with hardware, and validated system bottlenecks caused by the hardwareimplemented module [10].…”

This research concerns a system, which is called Ubiquitous Multi-Processor (UMP) system, which constructs dataflow network dynamically by connecting function-specific execution modules. The software model of the system was developed consisting only of application-specific execution modules (SS-PE) providing fixed functions. We developed a general-purpose execution module (GP-PE) which performs equivalent function to SS-PE by downloading the software library to improve the efficiency of development and reconfigure the function dynamically. The GP-PE was evaluated on the loading time of the library, the processing time of a color space conversion application, and the configuration time of processing on a network. The results of evaluation show that the GP-PE achieves equivalent performance to the SS-PE. Furthermore, the GP-PE does not degrade the system performance regarding dynamic system configuration if the library becomes hundreds of megabytes. This result shows that the GP-PE is suitable for the UMP system in general use.
