Project Morpheus
Morpheus ("multi-purpose dynamically reconfigurable platform for intensive heterogeneous processing") is an integrated EU project which addresses innovative solutions for embedded computing based on dynamically reconfigurable platforms and tools.
Further information can be found on the Morpheus project main page.
In the scope if this project the IDA addresses the following issues:
- Specification of application requirements im the field of stream processing, especially real-time processing of digital high-resolution video (cinema)
- Development and integration of a demonstrator based on the hardware developed during the FlexFilm-project
- RTL design, including a DDR-SDRAM memory controller and external RAM interface, as well as a corresponding simulation environment
- Tool-design in the area of global flow control
Available student work
Project FlexFilm
The FlexFilm project (2002-2005) adressed the development of systems for flexible real-time procesing of digital film at high resolution. Together with the project partners "Grass Valley Germany" and "TU Ilmenau" (working group "Digital Image and Video Processing (pvk)")
- a basic concept for an FPGA-based, scalable computer platform was developed and subsequently implemented as PCI-Express extension board for PCs,
- design methodologies and module libraries for the firmware were developed and
- an example application for high quality noise reduction was created which runs only on the FlexFilm-Hardware due to it's complexity
Further information can be found on the FlexFilm project main page (German only).
