Method and system for rescaling image files

Abstract

A system for resizing image files includes an FPGA including an interface controller operable to receive a plurality of image files through an interface, a computing kernel controller, and a memory controller. The FPGA also includes an interconnect coupled to the computing kernel controller and the memory controller and a plurality of computing kernels coupled to the interconnect. The system also includes a memory coupled to the FPGA.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for resizing image files, the system comprising:
 an FPGA including:
 an interface controller operable to receive a plurality of image files through an interface; 
 a computing kernel controller; 
 a memory controller; 
 an interconnect coupled to the computing kernel controller and the memory controller; and 
 a plurality of computing kernels coupled to the interconnect; and 
   a memory coupled to the FPGA.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of image files comprise JPEG images. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the interface comprises at least one of a PCIe interface or a network interface. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the memory comprises a DDR memory. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of computing kernels differ in processing capability. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of computing kernels have identical processing capability. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of computing kernels are each operable to resize an image file. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7  wherein a first computing kernel of the plurality of computing kernels is operable to resize a first image file while a second computing kernel of the plurality of computing kernels is operable to concurrently resize a second image file.
