System on Chip Video Encoding System

This project tests the performance of the MPSoC device by running software, consisting of an algorithm using cross-correlation, on both the MPSoC’s processing system and on a comparable device to establish a benchmark. The system demonstration uses the same algorithm to perform Wi-Fi signal detection with a peripheral software-defined radio and directional antenna. The resulting signal correlation value and received signal strength indicator, as well as video feed from a camera, are displayed on a monitor to visualize the signal strength at a specific location.The benchmark software uses math functions ported over from a C-language software library device to ensure an accurate performance comparison between the new and current systems. The benchmark software measured the total elapsed time taken to correlate one million input signals with one reference signal. The results from this test were delivered to General Dynamics Mission Systems so it could compare the devices internally to determine if the MPSoC device should be considered for future products.
