| Abstract(in English) | In image processing, FPGAs have shown very high performance in spite of their slow operational frequency. The main reasons for the high performance are (1) high parallelism in the applications in image processing, (2) the high ratio of 8 bit operations, and (3) parallel accesses to a large number of internal memory banks. In the recent micro processors, it becomes possible to execute SIMD instructions on 128 bit data in one clock cycle. Furthermore, these processors support multi-cores, and large cache memory which can hold all image data for each core. In this paper, we compare the performance of FPGAs with those processors in image processing using three applications; two-dimensional filters, stereo-vision and k-means clustering, and make it clear how an FPGA is fast in image processing, and how many hardware resources are required to achieve the performance. |
