Methods of increasing complexity are currently being proposed for ultrasound (US) echographic signal processing. Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) resources allowing massive exploitation of parallel computing are ideal candidates for these tasks. Many high-performance US instruments, including open scanners like ULA-OP 256, have an architecture based only on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and/or Digital Signal Processors (DSPs). This paper proposes the implementation of the embedded NVIDIA Jetson Xavier AGX module on board ULA-OP 256. The system architecture was revised to allow the introduction of a new Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) communication channel, while maintaining backward compatibility with all other embedded computing resources already on board. Moreover, the Input/Output (I/O) peripherals of the module make the ultrasound system independent, freeing the user from the need to use an external controlling PC.

The problems of creating of high-performance embedded computing systems based on microprocessors KOMDIV is considered. Processor performance is dependent upon three characteristics: clock cycle, clock cycles per instruction, and instruction count. These characteristics for microprocessors KOMDIV are optimized using parameter performance/power consumption and requirements of embedded systems.

Point Arithmetic

:Floating point arithmetic plays a major role in scientific and embedded computing applications. But the performance of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) used for floating point applications is poor due to the complexity of floating point arithmetic. The implementation of floating point units on FPGAs consumes a large amount of resources and that leads to the development of embedded floating point units in FPGAs. Embedded applications like multimedia, communication and DSP algorithms use floating point arithmetic in processing graphics, Fourier transformation, coding, etc. In this paper, methodologies are presented for the implementation of embedded floating point units on FPGA. The work is focused with the aim of achieving high speed of computations and to reduce the power for evaluating expressions. An application that demands high performance floating point computation can achieve better speed and density by incorporating embedded floating point units. Additionally this paper describes a comparative study of the design of single precision and double precision pipelined floating point arithmetic units for evaluating expressions. The modules are designed using VHDL simulation in Xilinx software and implemented on VIRTEX and SPARTAN FPGAs.
