The CORDIC is used in rotation mode for modulator and in vector mode for the demodulator. For the sake of comparison, the modulator and demodulator have been implemented using three different architectures. From the results, it is inferred that, pipelined multiplexer based CORDIC modulator-demodulator is more speed efficient and unpipelined multiplexer based CORDIC modulator-demodulator is more hardware efficient. © 2014 IEEE.Item Renewable energy sources fed dual input full-bridge DC-DC converter for battery charging applications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Kalpana, R.; Kiran, R.This paper proposes FPGA based dual input converter (DIC) for battery charging applications of 3 kW. The proposed system gives an alternative way of fusing the sources of DC in the magnetic form, instead of combining in the DC electrical form, by the addition of magnetic flux that is produced in the transformer magnetic core that works on the principle of flux additivity. A detailed design and the operation of the proposed dual input full-bridge DC-DC converter has been completely evaluated and presented in this paper. A constant frequency phase shifted PWM switching strategy has been preferred for the generation of gate pulses using FPGA controller board. The simulation analysis of the proposed converter has been executed utilizing MATLAB Simulink environment. A prototype of 1.5 kW has been developed and hardware results are presented to validate the theoretical waveform of the proposed dual input full-bridge DC-DC converter. © 2017 IEEE.Item Software-in-the-loop based MPPT enabled realtime solar photovoltaics simulator in FPGA platform for academic appreciation(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Singh, S.V.; Shubhanga, K.N.Non-linear solar photovoltaic (SPV) system characteristics and its dependency on meteorological variables of irradiance and temperature; renders this energy source rather involved to visualize. In this paper a low power realtime SPV module simulator is realized in field programmable gate array (FPGA) XCS100E platform for classroom teaching. FPGA platform is used due to its parallel computing nature and lucid hardware description languages (HDL) available. Output of FPGA being high frequency PWM (pulse width modulated) signals, can be used to upgrade the realized simulator at actual power levels through power electronics interfacing. SPV module with MPPT enabling feature is included, which can be used for testing and deployment of various MPPT techniques. © 2017 IEEE.Item YaNoC: Yet another network-on-chip simulation acceleration engine using FPGAS(IEEE Computer Society help@computer.org, 2018) Parane, K.; Talawar, B.; Prabhu Prasad, P.In this paper, we present an FPGA based NoC simulation framework, YaNoC, that supports the creation of standard and custom topologies, design of routing algorithms, generation of various synthetic traffic patterns, and exploration of a full set of microarchitectural parameters. The framework supports all standard minimal routing algorithms for conventional NoCs and implements table based routing to support the creation of new routing algorithm. A custom topology called Diagonal Mesh (DMesh) has been evaluated using table based and a modified version of the XY routing algorithm. Mesh and DMesh topologies saturate at the injection rates of 45 % and 55 %. We find that the Table based routing implementation consumes 0.98× fewer hardware resources than the conventional XY routing. We observed the speedup of 2548× compared to the Booksim software simulator. YaNoC achieves speedup of 2.54× and 25× with respect to CONNECT and DART FPGA based NoC simulators. © 2018 IEEE.Item FPGA based NoC Simulation Acceleration Framework Supporting Adaptive Routing(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Parane, K.; Prabhu Prasad, B.M.; Talawar, B.In this paper, we present fast and param-eterized FPGA based Network-on-Chip (NoC) simu-lation acceleration framework with automated HDL generation engine. The framework supports the NoC architecture design parameters such as topology, rout-ing algorithms, link width, buffer size, flow control and traffic patterns. The parameterized, high perfor-mance and lightweight nature of proposed NoC based framework makes the ideal choice for NoC research studies. The Mesh based topologies have been con-sidered for the experimentation purpose. A congestion aware adaptive routing has been proposed along with the conventional XY routing. Also, parameters such as buffer depth, traffic pattern and flit width have been varied to observe the effect on the NoC behavior. The adaptive routing algorithm for Mesh based topologies has negligible FPGA area overhead compared to the conventional XY routing. Employing the adaptive routing algorithm, the average packet latency is reduced by 55 % under transpose traffic pattern when compared to the XY routing algorithm. The speedup of 2548x has been observed compared to Booksim software simulator. The proposed framework is 2.54x and 25x times faster compared to CONNECT and DART FPGA based simulators respectively. © 2018 IEEE.Item Hardware Acceleration of Optically Labeled Human Genome Sequencing using a Novel Algorithm(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Mulani, K.S.; Kumar, H.; Gaurav, M.K.; Sumam David, S.Recently, reconstruction of the entire DNA sequence from optically labeled genomes has been explored.

The functionality of the crossbar switch of the NoC router is embedded in the hard multiplexers of the Xilinx DSP48E1 slices. A significant reduction in the soft logic (LUT+FF) utilization of the FPGA implementation of the 6 × 6 Torus topology has been observed by employing the hard multiplexers of the DSP48E1 slices in the proposed work. DSP based crossbar implementation of the 6 × 6 Torus topology consumes 38% fewer LUTs and 45% fewer FFs than the LUT based crossbar implementation. 35% less power consumption has been observed in the DSP based implementation. The proposed work utilizes 76% fewer LUTs compared to the state-of-the-art CONNECT NoC generation tool. Buffered, bi-directional Torus topology with XY routing has been considered in the proposed DSP based implementation compared to the Hoplite-DSP which implements the bufferless, unidirectional Torus topology with deflective routing algorithm. The proposed framework achieves the speed up of 2.02× and 2.9× with respect to the LUT only and the CONNECT NoCs. © 2019 IEEE.Item Design of an adaptive and reliable network on chip router architecture using FPGA(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Parane, K.; Prabhu Prasad, B.M.; Talawar, B.We propose an adaptive, low cost, reliable and high performance router implemented based on a conventional two stage pipeline. The proposed Adaptive routing operates in adaptive mode as soon as the congestion is detected in network. We employ fault tolerant strategies for different components of routers such as input buffer, route compute unit, virtual channel allocation, switch allocation, and crossbar unit. The proposed router architecture differs from existing reliable routers, our implementation maintains the performance of fault tolerance router under massive network workloads by influencing the features of a crossbar, routing algorithm and router pipeline optimization. Our designed router is highly reliable than current fault receptive routers such as Wang[1], Vicis[2], BulletProof[3], RoCo[4] and Poluri[5]. The average latency is reduced by 0.69% and increased by 2.0% compared to fault tolerant and conventional router. © 2019 IEEE.Item High-Performance NoCs Employing the DSP48E1 Blocks of the Xilinx FPGAs(IEEE Computer Society help@computer.org, 2019) Prabhu, P.B.M.; Parane, K.; Talawar, B.The hard multiplexers of the Xilinx DSP48E1 slices have been employed to support the functionality of crossbar switch of the buffered five port Network-on-Chip (NoC) routers. This is possible due to the dynamic mode operation of the DSP48E1 slices per clock cycle based on the multiplexer control signals. As a result of this, a significant reduction in the soft logic (LUT+FF) utilization of the FPGA implementation of the 6× 6 Mesh topology has been observed. DSP based crossbar implementation of the 6× 6 Mesh topology consumes 36% fewer LUTs and 40% fewer FFs than the LUT based crossbar implementation. 38% less power consumption has been observed in the DSP based implementation. The proposed work utilizes 41% fewer LUTs compared to the state-of-the-art CON-NECT NoC generation tool. The latency reductions of 31% and 38% have been achieved by the proposed DSP48E1 based crossbar implementation over the LUT crossbar implementation of 8× 8 Mesh topology under the Uniform and Transpose traffic patterns. Also, the proposed DSP48E1 based implementation achieves the saturation throughput improvements of 1.4× and 1.6× over the LUT based implementation under Uniform and Transpose traffic patterns respectively. © 2019 IEEE.
