Abstract

In this project, HW-SW Partitioning is used as a process to map each task of image processing application to be executed either in software (Hard Processor System, HPS) or hardware (Field Programmable Gate Array, FPGA). The framework for HW-SW Partitioning using Genetic Algorithm (GA) is developed in MATLAB. Total ten different combinations of GA parameters are used to test the developed framework. The GA parameters such as population size, crossover percentage and mutation percentage are varied to get the optimum combination of GA parameters. Three different HW/SW Partitioned Solutions are generated and the HW resources spent by first, second, and third solutions must not exceed the constraint value, Q = 341, Q = 681, and Q = 1022 respectively. The HW resource spent in HW/SW Partitioned Solution 1 (Q = 341) is 77.97% lesser than pure hardware solution. It is 4.65% faster than pure hardware solution and 26.6% faster than pure software solution. The HW resource spent in HW/SW Partitioned Solution 2 (Q = 681) is 50.29% lesser than pure hardware solution. It is 8.51% faster than pure hardware solution and 29.61% faster than pure software solution. The HW resource spent in HW/SW Partitioned Solution 3 (Q = 1022) is 45.01% lesser than pure hardware solution. It is 10.09% faster than pure hardware solution and 30.83% faster than pure software solution. Future work of this project is to implement the HW-SW partitioned solution in Altera DE1-SoC.
