Abstract— Just like the ALU is used to perform various arithmetic and logical operations , in a similar manner our brain also performs these same operations. The brain is divided into two separate hemispheres of which the left hemisphere performs the logical operations like AND , OR, NOT and XOR whereas the right hemisphere is used to perform the arithmetic operations like ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, MULTIPLICATION and SUBTRACTION. The design is simulated with Xilinx ISE 12.1 using verilog module code. The analysis is done using the FPGA families VIRTEX-6 (40 nm) and SPARTAN-6 (45 nm).The design is tested on different frequencies ranging from 100MHz, 500MHz, 1000MHz, 2000MHz and at different ambient tempratures like 10, 30, 55, 70 degrees celsius to get optimised result for the design.
and right part of the brain [10], which is used when dealing with arithmetic operations. Similarly, the Pingala Nadi is used to control the right part of the body and left part of the brain [10], which is used when dealing with logical operations. Here, the verilog code is designed to perform some operations based on left brain and right brain . The design is simulated on Xilinx ISE 12.1 and implemented on two different FPGA.
Keywords— virtex-6 and spartan-6 FPGA; left hemisphere; right hemisphere; ambient tempratures
I. INTRODUCTION The human brain comprises of two halves. These halves are called as the left brain and right brain, but more commonly they are termed as hemispheres. The purpose of the left hemisphere is to process the small details of the visible object and that of the right hemisphere is to process the overall shape. The left hemisphere lays emphasis in grammar and decoding literal meaning whereas the right hemisphere lays emphasis in understanding verbal metaphors and decoding indirect or ambiguous meaning. For example, a person is called leftbrained if he is more congruent, inquisitive and objective, while a person is said to be right-brained if he is more instinctual, prudent and subjective. The left brain is also sometimes called as the digital brain as it controls functions like reading, writing, calculation, and logical thinking. Similarly the right brain is referred to as the analog brain and it controls three-dimensional sense, creativity, and artistic senses. The two hemispheres work together, to allow us to function as humans. A systematic analysis of brain and data is required for the simulation of the brain [1], usage of neuro modulator signals for writing the data that has been provided as input to the target brain circuits directly [2], usage of large scale imaging in order to decode the brain circuit [3], neurobiology [4], human information processing systems (HIPS) [5] and the capability to process information or we can say the spatial aspect of brain [6]. If a brain requires less time to respond to an event it is called as a High Performance Brain and to employ this we require intra operative cortical surface displacement [7], finite element models of the human brain [8] and in order to examine the brain connections it requires 2-D neural maps [9]. According to the Brain Theory Ida Nadis is used to control the left part of the body 157

II. RELATED WORK There is an inclination towards minimum delay and lower consumption of power in energy efficient VLSI Design to operate for wider range of device operating frequencies [11]. According to simulations shown in [12], there is a drop in leakage power and total power by 22%-32% and 18%-24% respectively. X-Power 14.2 is used for creating UCF and NCD files for analyzing the power consumed [13]. In this design also power optimization is given utmost importance and a User Constraint File (UCF) is created to calculate the total power consumed. The various possibilities to reduce power and its usage at different abstraction levels is discussed in [14]. The power consumption is reduced if we scale down the voltage and frequency [15]. Xilinx Power Estimator which is an Electronic design association tool is used to outline the average power consumption under enable rate, toggle and frequency of operation [16].
