\begin{objectif}
This task groups the demonstrators of the COACH project.
The demonstrators cover various domains and application types to drive
the specification choices and to check most of the COACH features.

\begin{workpackage}
  \subtask{\bull HPC demonstrator}
    The application that \bull proposes is HPC oriented.
    The domain of the application is the treatment of medical images (image noise
    reduction and segmentation or registration).
    Our expectation from COACH project is to enhance the \bull HPC solutions that
    are currently based on multi-cores and GPUs with fine grain parallelism on FPGA.

  \subtask{\TRT Embedded SoC demonstrator}
    The objective of this sub-task is to specify the \TRT application and to develop the
    high level code.  This application is in the domain of surveillance of critical
    infrastructures. The objective is to detect and classify the presence of humans in the
    restricted area. The algorithm is based on the work of Viola and
    Jones~\cite{thales-viola}. It implements in particular a cascade of classifiers
    operating on Haar like features, where simple weak classifiers at the beginning of the
    cascade reject a majority of void sub-windows, before more complex classifiers
    concentrate on potential regions of interest. This application is computation
    intensive and also makes an intensive use of binary decision trees to cascade the
    filters, which makes it a good candidate to assess the COACH platform.
    \\
    Moreover, the higher levels of computing can involve tracking and data fusion between
    several camera streams and some other informations.
    The targeted system will be composed of one camera connected to a PC.
    All the computing part of the application is executed on a FPGA board connected to the
    PC.

  \subtask{SPEAR-DE adaptation for COACH}
    \TRT will use its internal software environment tool SPEAR DE to describe the
    application. The tool is able to partition and to generate the code for the target. \\
    In this task, we will adapt SPEAR DE to generate the application description input of
    COACH framework. We will also describe the three templates of architecture in order to
    be able to partition the application on the architecture.

  \subtask{Evaluation report}
    % FIXME: AJOUTER une evaluation de BULL ET MDS
    In this sub-task, \TRT will evaluate the COACH platform. In particular, \TRT will verify
    its ability to generate a whole VHDL of an embedded system on FPGA for an application
    mixing control and data flow aspects. \TRT will evaluate the performance of the
    generated system in terms of GOPS, and the design time from a high level description.
