Item 2-D wavelet transform enhancement on general-purpose microprocessors: memory hierarchy and SIMD parallelism exploitation(High performance computing - HIPC 2002, proceedings, 2002) Chaver Martínez, Daniel Ángel; Tenllado van der Reijden, Christian; Piñuel Moreno, Luis; Prieto Matías, Manuel; Tirado Fernández, FranciscoThis paper addresses the implementation of a 2-D Discrete Wavelet Transform on general-purpose microprocessors, focusing on both memory hierarchy and SIMD parallelization issues. Both topics are somewhat related, since SIMD extensions are only useful if the memory hierarchy is efficiently exploited. In this work, locality has been significantly improved by means of a novel approach called pipelined computation, which complements previous techniques based on loop tiling and non-linear layouts. As experimental platforms we have employed a Pentium-III (P-III) and a Pentium-4 (P-4) microprocessor. However, our SIMD-oriented tuning has been exclusively performed at source code level. Basically, we have reordered some loops and introduced some modifications that allow automatic vectorization. Taking into account the abstraction level at which the optimizations are carried out, the speedups obtained on the investigated platforms are quite satisfactory, even though further improvement can be obtained by dropping the level of abstraction (compiler intrinsics or assembly code).Item A low cost matching motion estimation sensor based on the NIOS II microprocessor.(Sensors, 2012) González, Diego; Botella Juan, Guillermo; Meyer Baese, Uwe; García Sánchez, Carlos; Sanz, Concepción; Prieto Matías, Manuel; Tirado Fernández, FranciscoMedical imaging has become an absolutely essential diagnostic tool for clinical practices; at present, pathologies can be detected with an earliness never before known. Its use has not only been relegated to the field of radiology but also, increasingly, to computer-based imaging processes prior to surgery. Motion analysis, in particular, plays an important role in analyzing activities or behaviors of live objects in medicine. This short paper presents several low-cost hardware implementation approaches for the new generation of tablets and/or smartphones for estimating motion compensation and segmentation in medical images. These systems have been optimized for breast cancer diagnosis using magnetic resonance imaging technology with several advantages over traditional X-ray mammography, for example, obtaining patient information during a short period. This paper also addresses the challenge of offering a medical tool that runs on widespread portable devices, both on tablets and/or smartphones to aid in patient diagnostics.Item Offset printing plate quality sensor on a low-cost processor(Sensors, 2013) Poljak, Jelena; Botella Juan, Guillermo; García Sánchez, Carlos; Poljacek, Sanja Mahovic; Prieto Matías, Manuel; Tirado Fernández, FranciscoThe aim of this work is to develop a microprocessor-based sensor that measures the quality of the offset printing plate through the introduction of different image analysis applications. The main features of the presented system are the low cost, the low amount of power consumption, its modularity and easy integration with other industrial modules for printing plates, and its robustness against noise environments. For the sake of clarity, a viability analysis of previous software is presented through different strategies, based on dynamic histogram and Hough transform. This paper provides performance and scalability data compared with existing costly commercial devices. Furthermore, a general overview of quality control possibilities for printing plates is presented and could be useful to a system where such controls are regularly conducted.Item Implementation of a low-cost mobile devices to support medical diagnosis(Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, 2013) García Sanchez, Carlos; Botella Juan, Guillermo; Ayuso Márquez, Fermín; González Rodríguez, Diego; Prieto Matías, Manuel; Tirado Fernández, FranciscoMedical imaging has become an absolutely essential diagnostic tool for clinical practices; at present, pathologies can be detected with an earliness never before known.

C.; Tirado Fernández, FranciscoThe load-store queue (LQ-SQ) of modem superscalar processors is responsible for keeping the order of memory operations. As the performance gap between processing speed and memory access becomes worse, the capacity requirements for the LQ-SQ increase, and its design becomes a challenge due to its CAM structure. In this paper we propose an efficient load-store queue state filtering mechanism that provides a significant energy reduction (on average 35% in the LSQ and 3.5% in the whole processor), and only incurs a negligible performance loss of less than 0.6%.Item On-line multi-threaded processing of web user-clicks on multi-core processors.(High performance computing for computational science - VECPAR 2010, 2011) Bonacic, Carolina; García, Carlos; Marín, Mauricio; Prieto Matías, Manuel; Tirado Fernández, FranciscoMedical imaging has become an absolutely essential diagnostic tool for clinical practices; at present, pathologies can be detected with an earliness never before known.
