Multi-Core DSP Enables Advanced Target Discrimination and Tracking
Video surveillance must automatically detect targets and suspicious behaviors in order to effectively monitor large networks of cameras. Single processor designs have limited previous attempts at video content analysis and computer vision. We present a cost-effective multi-core approach that utilizes 16 DSP and 8 RISC processors on one chip, working in parallel to analyze video feeds for use in smart network cameras.

X5-210M
The X5-210M is an XMC IO module featuring four 14-bit 250 MSPS A/Ds with a Virtex5 FPGA computing core, DRAM and SRAM memory, and eight lane PCI Express host interface. A Xilinx Virtex5 SX95T with 512MB DDR2 DRAM and 4MB QDR-II memory provide a very high performance DSP core for demanding applications such as emerging wireless standards. The close integration of the analog IO, memory and host interface with the FPGA enables real-time signal processing at extremely high rates exceeding 300 GMACs per second.
