ECE 734 Project Proposal Exploring realizations of large integer multipliers using embedded blocks in modern FPGAs

Exploring realizations of large integer multipliers using embedded blocks in modern FPGAs

An efficient design methodology and a systematic approach for the implementation of multiplication for unsigned large integers, using small-size asymmetric embedded multipliers is presented. Three different approaches are explored for the design. A general architecture of the multiplier is proposed and a set of equations is derived to aid in the realization. The inputs of the multiplier are spl...

Large multipliers with less DSP blocks

Recent computing-oriented FPGAs feature DSP blocks including small embedded multipliers. A large integer multiplier, for instance for a double-precision floatingpoint multiplier, consumes many of these DSP blocks. This article studies three non-standard implementation techniques of large multipliers: the Karatsuba-Ofman algorithm, non-standard multiplier tiling, and specialized squarers. They a...

Measuring and Navigating the Gap Between FPGAs and ASICs

Measuring and Navigating the Gap Between FPGAs and ASICs Ian Carlos Kuon Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Toronto 2008 Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have enjoyed increasing use due to their low non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs and their straightforward implementation process. However, it is recognized that they have high...

GPS Time Reception Using Altera SOPC Builder and Nios II: Application in Train Positioning

As functional integration has increased in hand-held consumer devices features such as Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers have been embedded in increasingly more devices in recent years. For example, the train positioning system based on GPS provides an integrated positioning solution which can be used in many rail applications without a cost intensive infrastructure. The network built i...
