Interconnection Synthesis of MPSoC Architecture for Gamma Cameras

Abstract

MPSoC (Multi-Processor System-on-Chip) architecture is becoming increasingly used because it can provide designers much more opportunities to meet specific performance and power goals. In this paper, we use MPSoC architecture to solve real-time signal processing problem in gamma camera. We propose an interconnection synthesis algorithm to reduce the area cost of the Network-on-Chip for an MPSoC architecture we propose in [14]. We implement our interconnection synthesis algorithm on FPGA, and synthesize Network-on-Chip using Synopsys Design Compiler with a UMC 0.18um standard cell library. The results show that our technique can effectively accelerate the processing and satisfy the requirements of real-time signal processing for 256 × 256 image construction.KeywordsGamma CameraArea CostGamma PhotonImage ConstructionPortable Gamma CameraThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
