Resumo:
Nowadays, the biggest impact on the environment caused by computers is the power consumption.
This work studies an alternative technology to the high energy consumption
caused by desktop computers and servers, in the execution of a certain task, for example,
visual content indexing. The main goal of this dissertation was to evaluate the energy efficiency
using a method of indexing based on wavelets of a CBIR (Content Based Image
Retrieval) system implemented on a FPGA- plataform. We use energy efficiency as metrics
to compare the two platforms. Results show that FPGAs offer 758 times better energy
efficiency than the system that we implemented previously on PC platform.
