Monte-Carlo Simulation on AM57x Using OpenCL for DSP Acceleration Reference Design

TIDEP0046

Design files

Overview

TI’s high performance ARM® Cortex®-A15 based AM57x processors also integrate C66x DSPs. These DSPs were designed to handle high signal and data processing tasks that are often required by industrial, automotive and financial applications. The AM57x OpenCL implementation makes it easy for users to utilize DSP acceleration for high computational tasks while using a standard programming model and language, thereby removing the need for deep knowledge of the DSP architecture. The TIDEP0046 TI reference design provides an example of using DSP acceleration to generate a very long sequence of normal random numbers using standard C/C++ code.

Features

The TIDEP0046 TI reference design uses OpenCL that does not require the user to be a DSP expert.
It provides an example of Monte-Carlo algorithm to generate Gaussian random sequences which runs faster on the C66x DSP than on the ARM Cortex-A15 core.
It is a complete system reference design with example software implemented and tested using the TI Processor SDK and TI AM57x EVM; includes software source, schematics, BOM, and design files.
