In this paper, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier with a linear kernel has been implemented using a dataflow language called RVC-CAL. Specifically, RVC-CAL allows the scheduling of functional actors onto the target platform cores. Once the parallelism of the classifier has been extracted, a comparison of the SVM classifier implementation using LibSVM –a specific library for SVM applications– and RVC-CAL has been performed. The speedup results obtained for the image classifier depends on the number of blocks in which the image is divided; concretely, when 3 image blocks are processed in parallel, an average speed up above 2.50, with regard to the RVC-CAL sequential version, is achieved. |
