| Abstract(in English) | This article presents a method for controlling custom hardware from Erlang programs. Higher and higher functionality, including communication capability for IoT services, is required for embedded systems as well as high performance to shift sophisticated information processing from cloud to edge. With the view of implementing message processing in Erlang and offloading heavy computation tasks to custom hardware, our method enables activating hardware modules from Erlang programs through Erlang ports. Erlang messages to control hardware are sent and received via ports as byte sequences, which external programs translate into reads and writes to hardware registers. Through a preliminary experiment using a hardware implemented neural network, we confirmed that the execution time was substautially reduced by our offloaded scheme. |
