Abstract
This paper introduces a new mapping of geometrical transformation on the MorphoSys (M1) reconfigurable computing (RC) system. New mapping techniques for some linear algebraic functions are recalled. A new mapping for geometrical transformation operations is introduced and their performance on the M1 system is evaluated. The translation and scaling transformation addressed in this mapping employ some vector–vector and vector–scalar operations [6 and 7]. A performance analysis study of the M1 RC system is also presented to evaluate the efficiency of the algorithm execution. Numerical examples were simulated to validate our results, using the MorphoSys mULATE program, which emulates M1 operations.
