Parallel Hardware Architectures
Design and
development of systems based on high performance DSP processors (Analog Device ADSP 21062 SHARC Super Harvard ARchitecture Computer,
and/or HAMMERHEAD and TIGER SHARC). Up to 40 SHARC processors have been interconnected on RADSTONE VANTEGRA-DL cards.
Code development on SHARC processors by:
-
low level language (Macro Assembler)
-
medium level language (Ansi C)
-
high level language (derived from MATLAB) such as MATLINK EDS developped by the Israel company Mango
-
use of Visual DSP environment (Analog Devices)
-
utilization of special technology components for high rate data input transfer.
Real time processing
Hardware and real time operating systems implemented on RACE Mercury (MCH6) cards and interfacing with standard systems (PC, workstations,
LAN, acquisition boards) on VME bus. System development by clusters of PPC G4 processors using Mercury (Vantage) or Thales cards.
Code development by Ansi C with extensive employment of libraries optimised by Mercury.
The activities include:
-
Design and development of control, real time procedures and data management,
-
Management of internal procedures, of assembler libraries, of processor code,
-
Use of real time operating systems (WxVorks and LinxOs) in PowerPc processors (Motorola, Radstone, and Janz boards).
Supervision and data collection (microcontroller, FPGA)
Design and development of high throughput systems by using FPGA.
-
VHDL code development;
-
Graphic tools by Altera ot Xlinx
