Design of an fpga based co-processor for digital signal processing applications

Typical digital signal processing algorithms executes the same DSP functions on different data sets. Parallelizing this process dramatically decreases execution time of such kind of functions. There are 4 popular platforms for parallelized applications: Many-core processors, GPGPUs, ASIC chips and FPGA based applications. Although each kind of platform has own pros and cons, GPGPU and FPGA based applications are more popular than others because of lower price and higher parallel processing capabilities. This MSc thesis consists of hardware design of FPGA based OpenCL ready highly scalable and configurable co-processor which is a project of ASELSAN and TOBB ETÜ. In this work, a scalable and configurable parallel processor architecture which supports OpenCL is designed and implemented on FPGA platform.
