Evaluation de l'outil SynDEx en vue de prototypage rapide d'applications de traitement d'images sur machine MIMD-DM
International audience; The goal of this paper is to evaluate the SynDEx system-level CAD tool in order to estimate its usefulness for fast prototyping of image processing applications on a MIMD-DM architecture. This software can assist the programmer during the implementation of image processing applications in his constrained search for an efficient matching between algorithm and architecture. Two main conclusions were drawn from this work. First, the implementation of a connected component labeling algorithm on a multi-transputer architecture allowed us to quantify the gap between the estimated performances predicted by SynDEx and the effective performances measured on the generated exec…
Skeletons for parallel image processing: an overview of the SKiPPER project
International audience; This paper is a general overview of the SKIPPER project, run at Blaise Pascal University between 1996 and 2002. The main goal of the SKIPPER project was to demonstrate the appli- cability of skeleton-based parallel programming techniques to the fast prototyping of reactive vision applications. This project has produced several versions of a full-fledged integrated pa- rallel programming environment (PPE). These PPEs have been used to implement realistic vi- sion applications, such as road following or vehicle tracking for assisted driving, on embedded parallel platforms embarked on semi-autonomous vehicles. All versions of SKIPPER share a common front-end and reperto…
