Hardware acceleration of fingerprint data processing

A system comprising:

• one or more processors configured to perform operations comprising:
• determining a representation of a fingerprint depicted in an image;
• determining a plurality of match scores comprising, for each respective enrolled fingerprint of a plurality of enrolled fingerprints, a corresponding match score between the fingerprint and the respective enrolled fingerprint, wherein the plurality of match scores are determined based on comparing the representation of the fingerprint to a corresponding representation of the respective enrolled fingerprint, and wherein the determining the plurality of match scores comprises:
• determining, based on a number of the plurality of enrolled fingerprints, a clock frequency at which to operate a processor of the one or more processor while determining the plurality of match scores such that determination of the plurality of match scores takes no more than a predefined maximum amount of time;
• and
• operating the processor at the clock frequency while using the processor to determine the plurality of match scores;
• and
• determining, based on the corresponding match score for each respective enrolled fingerprint, whether the fingerprint matches at least one of the plurality of enrolled fingerprints.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

• determining a representation of a fingerprint depicted in an image;
• determining a plurality of match scores comprising, for each respective enrolled fingerprint of a plurality of enrolled fingerprints, a corresponding match score between the fingerprint and the respective enrolled fingerprint, wherein the plurality of match scores are determined based on comparing the representation of the fingerprint to a corresponding representation of the respective enrolled fingerprint, and wherein the determining the plurality of match scores comprises:
• determining, based on a number of the plurality of enrolled fingerprints, a clock frequency at which to operate a processor while determining the plurality of match scores such that determination of the plurality of match scores takes no more than a predefined maximum amount of time;
• and
• operating the processor at the clock frequency while using the processor to determine the plurality of match scores;
• and
• determining, based on the corresponding match score for each respective enrolled fingerprint, whether the fingerprint matches at least one of the plurality of enrolled fingerprints.
