Abstract

In this paper we consider the experimental performance and energy efficiency evaluation in image processing tasks for the MALT manycore processors. The image filtering with the Sobel operator is used as an example. Measurements are conducted using the MALTemu low level emulator, an FPGA processor prototype and an experimental ASIC model MALT-Cv2 Rev1. The obtained results are compared with similar results for a general purpose CPU (sequential implementation) and a GPU with the CUDA technology support
New computational technologies
