| Abstract | In this study, a scalable coprocessor for accelerating the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm is presented. The coprocessor is interfaced with PowerPC embedded processor of Xilinx Virtex-5 FX70T Field Programmable Gate Array. In the proposed design, the DE algorithm module is tightly coupled with fitness function module to reduce communication and control overhead. The fixed point DE algorithm is implemented in the coprocessor whereas both fixed and floating point DE are implemented in the embedded processor. Performance of the coprocessor is evaluated by optimising benchmark functions of different complexities. The implementation results show that the coprocessor is 73.14–160.2× and 2.19–27.63× faster compared to the software execution time of the floating and fixed point algorithm respectively. As a case study, spectrum allocation problem of cognitive radio network is evaluated with the coprocessor. Results show an acceleration of 76.79–105× and 5.19–6.91× with respect to floating and fixed point DE in embedded processor. It is also observed that the application occupies 56% of BRAM, 54% of DSP48E, 16% of slice LUTs and maximum frequency of operation as 63.55 MHz in a Virtex-5 FPGA. This type of coprocessor is suitable for embedded applications where the fitness function remains unchanged. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
