Prof. M. Balakrishnan, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, talks about FPT'11 and FPGA scenario in India

Thursday, 08 December 2011

 

 

The 2011 International Conference on Field Programmable Technology(FPT'11), 10th in series, is being held in India  at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IITD) from 12th-14th Dec, 2011. Prof. M. Balakrishnan, an eminent faculty member of Computer Science Department at IITD, is the General Chair of the organizing committee, along with Prof Tulika Mitra from NUS, Singapore. Prof Balakrishnan shared his views on FPT'11 and FPGA scenario of India with KritiKal Solutions. Here is the small talk we had with Prof Balakrishnan.

 

  1. What are your views on FPT Conference being held in India for the first time?
    FPT is truly an international conference with participation from all over the world though all the nine previous versions of the conference have been held within the Asia-Pacific region. Interestingly in the field of FPGAs, all the four major conferences (FPGA in North America, FPL in Europe, FPT in Asia-Pacific and SPL in South America) though always being held within the region have emerged as truly international events in terms of participation. Of course as to be expected they always carry some regional flavor. Bringing an International event of such quality to India in its 10th edition can serve two purposes; give a major fillip to this area in India and also give international visibility to the work already underway in India.

  2. Where does India stand in the world when it comes to research and development in the field of Field programmable designs?
    FPGA technology on the face of it is highly suitable for a country like India. As most technology products have low volumes in India, FPGAs should be the natural technology of choice. In spite of an early start in education as well as its introduction in R&D labs in the late 80’s and early 90’s, actual penetration has been low. Most of the VLSI design industry in India is dominated by the design centers of large multinationals who are primarily targeting high-volume international markets rather than introducing custom products for the Indian market. Outside of education, FPGAs would takeoff in India only when we have an industry addressing custom requirements; whether be it in India or abroad. We have a lot to learn from countries like Korea, Taiwan and China who may have started later than us but FPGA design has become a cottage industry. On the other hand, education in India itself provides a large market with millions of students entering disciplines like electronics, CS and IT each year and even that has not been tapped.

  3. What is the level of training, related to FPGA designs, architectures etc, imparted in the technical institutes of India? Is India producing enough talent in this field? If not, how should we improve the situation?
    I already mentioned the volume of Indian education market. FPGAs with its inherent re-configurability is an ideal platform for teaching design. Though, I do see significant activity in recent years mainly driven by major FPGA vendors, but neither quality nor quantity is reflective of the spread of higher technical education in India. We do have some faculty workshops but much more is needed in terms of curriculum and co-curriculum activities. On one hand universities should integrate it to the curriculum and on the other, industry and professional societies should promote student interest with a large number of regional as well as national design contests.

  4. You would have had chance to work in the industry, both in India and abroad. Would you like to comment on the quality of work, particularly in the Indian design houses involved in FPGA designs? Can you state some pleasing experiences?
    I haven’t had much experience of industry in this area abroad but have seen some interesting work in India. Work becomes interesting only when the specifications demand pushing the device resources as well as speed to its limit. Only then the designer’s competence is tested as it is no longer possible to meet the specifications by pushing synthesis buttons on a EDA tool. One needs better understanding of the application as well as the FPGA architecture.

  5. What are the most important applications of FPGAs today?
    Three most important applications of FPGAs are in low-volume embedded products (whether it is a special toy or a industrial robot), rapid prototyping for high-speed emulation and accelerating scientific computation with fine grain parallelism. In all these areas the low NRE cost of FPGAs provide a very cost-effective solution vis-à-vis its competitors whether it is processors or ASICs. In some applications GPU with its enormous SIMD capabilities is emerging as a strong competitor.

  6. What is the most important trend which you foresee in the field of FPGAs in near future?
    The applications mentioned earlier would remain important and thus continue to drive FPGA architecture for quite some time. Further, I believe FPGAs would get integrated into SoCs in the future and would provide a unique opportunity to customize the product for individual requirements while still being power and speed sensitive. Today no one can think of embedded systems without micro-controllers and software, and I feel a similar situation is likely to happen with FPGAs becoming integral part of future SoCs. Key challenges for this to happen is standard simple to use tools supporting integrated design platforms (processors and FPGA hardware) and development of low power FPGA fabrics.

We thank Prof. Balakrishnan for taking out time to speak to us and wish him all the best for the upcoming conference at IITD.

EET India Article : Using RTOS in the MCU environment.

Using RTOS in the MCU environment

By Nishant Sharma
Chief Architect, Embedded Systems
KritiKal Solutions Ltd

The MCU world has been undergoing an upward change with the advent of a variety of more powerful MCUs that, in addition to supplying more horsepower, integrate a large number of peripherals. Software developers are facing a new world where they can add in more and more capabilities to their applications while ensuring performance. This has in turn created a need for a framework and back-end support for the following:
. Driver interaction, message queues and critical section protection;
. The ability to create lightweight tasks;
. Managing and testing the various modules;
. Scheduling tasks.

Small real-time kernels fit the bill really well. Their small memory footprint makes them a good choice for use in current platforms, including 8bit environments. They provide the basic features of an OS and a backbone for the design. Although such small kernels have been around for a long time, their use will become more widespread in the future.

Communications stacks : The software platform can be further enriched by adding in communication stacks for Modbus, CAN or TCP/IP. eCos, FreeRTOS are among the offering from the open-source domain, eCos being released in GPL. eCos offers greater infrastructure, including a hardware abstraction layer, device driver framework and TCP/IP networking stack.
FreeRTOS comes with a basic framework for an OS and is very lightweight. There are other commercial RTOS available, including some that are royalty-free, and may be chosen based on the development requirements. Even with all these benefits, application developers must also be aware of the pitfalls. RTOS or any other OS should be introduced in a design judiciously, keeping the application requirements in mind, otherwise it may result in unnecessarily bloating the development and testing cycles. With a reliable back-end, the application can be up in a jiffy, although one would have to go through the usual cycles for testing the product. However, having an RTOS is not the end goal, but the means to the end, since developers would still have to adhere to healthy design principles, coding standards and methodologies.
