| The wide acceptance and data deluge in medical imaging processing require faster and more efficient systems to be built. Due to the advances in heterogeneous architectures recently, there has been a resurgence in the first research aimed at FPGA-based as well as GPGPU-based accelerator design. This paper quantitatively analyzes the workload, computational intensity and memory performance of a single-particle 3D reconstruction application, called EMAN, and parallelizes it on CUDA GPGPU architectures and decouples the memory operations from the computing flow and orchestrates the thread-data mapping to reduce the overhead of off-chip memory operations. Then it exploits the trend towards FPGA-based accelerator design, which is achieved by offloading computing-intensive kernels to dedicated hardware modules. Furthermore, a customized memory subsystem is also designed to facilitate the decoupling and optimization of computing dominated data access patterns. This paper evaluates the proposed accelerator design strategies by comparing it with a parallelized program on a 4-cores CPU. The CUDA version on a GTX480 shows a speedup of about 6 times. The performance of the stream architecture implemented on a Xilinx Virtex LX330 FPGA is justified by the reported speedup of 2.54 times. Meanwhile, measured in terms of power efficiency, the FPGA-based accelerator outperforms a 4-cores CPU and a GTX480 by 7.3 times and 3.4 times, respectively. |
