3D Tomography Back-Projection Parallelization on Intel FPGAs Using OpenCL
Journal of Signal Processing Systems(2018)
摘要
This article deals with the evaluation of FPGAs resurgence for hardware acceleration applied to computed tomography on the back-projection operator used in iterative reconstruction algorithms. We focus our attention on the tools developed by FPGAs manufacturers, in particular the Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL, that promises a new level of hardware abstraction from the developer’s perspective, allowing a software-like programming of FPGAs. Our first contribution is to propose an accurate memory benchmark. This is followed by an evaluation of different custom OpenCL implementations of the back-projection algorithm. With some clues on memory fetching and coalescing, we then fine-tune designs to improve performance. Finally, a comparison is made with GPU implementations, and a preliminary conclusion is drawn on the future of FPGAs for computed tomography.
