This is mostly for internal purposes; it is a record of performance results with previous compiler versions and machines.
Performance was measured by compiling the SA-C CDF wavelet routine with the May 13, 2001 version of the SA-C compiler and executing them on an Annapolis Microsystems StarFire with an Xilinx XV-1000 FPGA. The test image was an 8-bit 512x512 images (of Fort Hood, TX, shown above). Compiler optimizations included a four pipeline stages.

For comparison purposes, we ran Honeywell's original wavelet code (written in C) on an 800 MHz Pentium III compiled under VC++ (v. 6.0, optimized for speed) running Windows2000.
