X Abstract

We present a domain-specific approach to generate high-performance hardware-software partitioned implementations of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) in fixed point precision. The partitioning strategy is a heuristic based on the DFT's divide-and-conquer algorithmic structure and fine tuned by the feedback-driven exploration of candidate designs. We have integrated this approach in the Spiral linear-transform code-generation framework to support push-button automatic implementation. We present evaluations of hardware-software DFT implementations running on the embedded PowerPC processor and the reconfigurable fabric of the Xilinx Virtex-II Pro FPGA. In our experiments, the 1D and 2D DFT's FPGA-accelerated libraries exhibit between 2 and 7.5 times higher performance (operations per second) and up to 2.5 times better energy efficiency (operations per Joule) than the software-only version.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
