Vicuna: A Timing-Predictable RISC-V Vector Coprocessor for Scalable Parallel Computation

Authors: Michael Platzer and Peter Puschner

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 196, 33rd Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2021)


Abstract
In this work, we present Vicuna, a timing-predictable vector coprocessor. A vector processor can be scaled to satisfy the performance requirements of massively parallel computation tasks, yet its timing behavior can remain simple enough to be efficiently analyzable. Therefore, vector processors are promising for highly parallel real-time applications, such as advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles. Vicuna has been specifically tailored to address the needs of real-time applications. It features predictable and repeatable timing behavior and is free of timing anomalies, thus enabling effective and tight worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis while retaining the performance and efficiency commonly seen in other vector processors. We demonstrate our architecture’s predictability, scalability, and performance by running a set of benchmark applications on several configurations of Vicuna synthesized on a Xilinx 7 Series FPGA with a peak performance of over 10 billion 8-bit operations per second, which is in line with existing non-predictable soft vector-processing architectures.

Model-based Surface Defect Detection and Condition Monitoring in Wire Ropes

Authors: Esther Platzer and Joachim Denzler

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8422, Computer Vision in Camera Networks for Analyzing Complex Dynamic Natural Scenes (2009)


Abstract
Wire ropes are exposed to huge external powers everyday. Therefore strict rules for a regular visual inspection exist. Many approaches for textural defect detection in textiles or other materials exist. However, until today no real possibility to control rope attributes like lay length or diameter over the whole rope curse exist. To meet this drawback we present an automatic inspection approach based on a geometric rope model. The parameters of the rope model are estimated over time given raw 2-d image data and local surface defects are located by comparison of the real data with a 2-d projection of the ideal model.
