Abstract

The contemporary processors are unable to meet the increasing data-intensive and computation-demanding requirements in autonomous vehicle software applications. Recently, the new Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) has emerged as a promising solution to meet these requirements. The HSA reduces the latency of data exchange between the compute units and cache-coherent shared memory, which is not supported by the non-HSA compliant heterogeneous platforms with acceleration support. The main goal of the paper is to investigate the performance gain by the HSA and conduct a comparative evaluation of the HSA and non-HSA compliant heterogeneous platforms. The paper aims at evaluating these platforms by using two computation-intensive software functions in autonomous vehicles, namely the object detection and vehicle movement. In order to achieve this goal, the CUDA-accelerated source code of the functions is ported from a non-HSA compliant heterogeneous platform to the HSA platform. In this regard, the paper presents the architecture of a proof-of-concept prototype and provides evaluation using the prototype.
