The "OSCARTech Compiler" supports automatic parallelization of a wide range of software programs. We will introduce a case of automatic parallelization applied to a fundamental image processing algorithm called "Optical Flow," which detects the magnitude of movement (motion vectors) of objects within an image. In this case, we attempted parallelization using block matching (a method where blocks are cut out from a still image at a certain moment, and the vicinity of the same coordinates in the next moment is searched to select and determine the most similar block). 【Case Study】 ■ Optical Flow: Detects the direction and magnitude (motion vectors) of movement of objects within an image. ■ Verification Environment: Raspberry Pi 2 (Cortex-A7, 4 Core, 900Mhz, OS: Raspbian OS) ■ Time taken to generate motion vectors: - 1 Core: 936ms / 1.0x - 2 Cores: 480ms / 1.9x - 3 Cores: 340ms / 2.7x *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Software (middle, driver, security, etc.)

By combining the "OSCARTech Compiler" with ARM's "big.LITTLE architecture," we have realized a software/hardware integrated platform that achieves both high speed and low power consumption. This solution, unique to OSCARTech's parallelization technology, maximizes the performance of multi-core systems and automatically controls the operating voltage and frequency according to the SoC. 【Mechanism for Reducing Power Consumption】 ■ The "OSCARTech Compiler" parallelizes the target program and embeds power control code. ■ The power control code manages the operating frequency of the virtual core through an API called CPUfreq. ■ Based on the set frequency, the OS (IKS) switches between operating frequencies and actual cores. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Multi-Grain Parallelization Technology" supports all forms of algorithms. It thoroughly analyzes control flow, data dependencies, program structure, and data structures, and based on the results, it divides and parallelizes the program into units called macro tasks. The automatic parallelization solution equipped with this technology, "OSCARTech Compiler," achieves speedup and power savings that traditional automatic parallelization technologies cannot accomplish. 【Features】 ■ Supports all forms of algorithms ■ Thoroughly extracts parallelism within programs ■ Achieves speedup and power savings *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Software (middle, driver, security, etc.)

The "OSCARTech Compiler" is an innovative technology that automatically achieves both software acceleration and power saving simultaneously. Typically, standard parallelization methods such as OpenMP involve the use of APIs or manual task allocation to each core; however, this technology can automatically and efficiently execute the parallelization process. It takes code written in C as input and outputs parallelized code, making it independent of the OS or architecture, allowing you to use your existing development environment as is. 【Features】 ■ Multi-platform support ■ Automatic optimization via a profiler ■ Numerous parallelism visualization tools ■ Multi-grain parallelization ■ Power saving and memory management by the compiler ■ Fast synchronization processing *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
