Abstract :
The AICP (AURA Intelligent Co-Processor) project aims are to develop and implement high performance hardware IP-cores for pattern matching algorithms used in embedded ubiquitous systems. As part of this project we also aim to implement these IP-cores in the PRESENCE-2 hardware platform. PRESENCE-2 is a PCI-based accelerator card for high performance applications, developed by the Computer Science Department at the University of York. This paper introduces the capabilities of the PRESENCE-2 card, and explains the hardware/software design methodology and the libraries and tools needed to develop scalable solutions on the card. The paper closes by detailing several pattern-matching libraries that have been ported to the PRESENCE-2 card.
