Abstract
This paper presents new mappings of 2D and 3D geometrical transformation on the MorphoSys (M1) reconfigurable computing (RC) prototype [2]. This improves the system performance as a graphics accelerator [1-5]. Three algorithms are mapped including two for calculating 2D transformations, and one for 3D transformations. The results presented indicate an improved performance. The speedup achieved is explained as well as the advantages in the mapping of the application. The transformations on an 8x8 RC array were run, and numerical examples were simulated to validate our results, using the MorphoSys mULATE program, which simulates MorphoSys operations. Comparisons with other systems are presented, namely, with Intel processing systems and Celoxica RC-1000 FPGA
