BANSMOM
Research Motivation†
- Population of many developed countries is growing rapidly
- Heart disease is one of main causes of death
- Mainly among people aged 50 or over and it makes up thirty percent of all causes of death
- Electrocardiography(ECG)
- Medical test that measures and records electrical activity of the heart
- Abnormal rhythm of the heart picked up at an ECG examination helps to detect many potential heart diseases
Research Goal†
- Hardware Optimization:
- Add A/D module
- Design a Synchronization Support for Critical Section Access
- Add a DMA module to move results to external memory
- Software Optimization:
- Parallel execution of the PPD
