Abstract In recent years, with the development of processor architecture, heterogeneous processors including Center processing unit (CPU) and Graphics processing unit (GPU) have become the mainstream. However, due to the differences of heterogeneous core, the heterogeneous system is now facing many problems that need to be solved. In order to solve these problems, this paper try to focus on the utilization and efficiency of heterogeneous core and design some reasonable resource scheduling strategies. To improve the performance of the system, this paper proposes a combination strategy for a single task and a multi-task scheduling strategy for… More >

Abstract A novel beamforming algorithm named Delay Multiply and Sum (DMAS), which excels at enhancing the resolution and contrast of ultrasonic image, has recently been proposed. However, there are nested loops in this algorithm, so the calculation complexity is higher compared to the Delay and Sum (DAS) beamformer which is widely used in industry. Thus, we proposed a simple vector-based method to lower its complexity. The key point is to transform the nested loops into several vector operations, which can be efficiently implemented on many parallel platforms, such as Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), and multi-core Central… More >
