چکیده
Addressing SWaP Challenges in Military Platforms With 65-nm FPGAs and Structured ASICs Introduction Now more than ever, size, weight, and power (SWaP) must be managed and reduced across virtually all military and aerospace applications to improve operational efficiency and logistics, increase mission life, and reduce the total cost of system ownership. System upgrades are driving added functionality and increased performance, placing additional attention on SWaP. Additionally, markets are expanding as systems become smaller, lighter, and less expensive.

Structured ASICs: Opportunities and Challenges
There is currently a huge gap between the two main technologies used to implement custom digital integrated circuit (IC) designs. At one end of the spectrum are field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). These devices have relatively low design costs and short design times, but they also have high per-unit costs and are limited in terms of design size, complexity, and performance. At the other end...
متن کاملEnhancing Robust SEU Mitigation with 28-nm FPGAs
Systems designed with FPGAs benefit from significant improvements over ASICS, such as rapid-process technology scaling and design innovation, which permit the use of FPGAs in high-availability, high-reliability, and safety-critical systems. However, along with technology scaling come other effects such as increased susceptibility to soft errors that previously could be ignored. These soft error...

High-speed DSP systems are increasingly being implemented on FPGA hardware platforms. This trend is being fuelled by insurmountable ASIC project costs and the flexibility and reconfigurability advantages of FPGAs over traditional DSPs and ASICs, respectively. Very recently, Structured ASIC technology has yielded lower cost solutions to full custom ASIC by predefining several layers of silicon f...
متن کاملThe Certicom Challenges ECC2-X
To encourage research on the hardness of the elliptic-curve discrete-logarithm problem (ECDLP) Certicom has published a series of challenge curves and DLPs. This paper analyzes the costs of breaking the Certicom challenges over the binary fields F2131 and F2163 on a variety of platforms. We describe details of the choice of step function and distinguished points for the Koblitz and non-Koblitz ...
متن کاملRobust SEU Mitigation With Stratix III FPGAs
The benefits of FPGAs over ASICs become ever more compelling as rapid-process technology scaling and innovation provide ever-greater speed, density, and power improvements. However, along with technology scaling come other effects that previously could be ignored. One of the accompanying effects is increased susceptibility to soft errors caused by single event upsets (SEUs). Although through ca...
