Hierarchical Design Space Exploration on Multiple FPGA Platforms: A Case Study
نویسنده
چکیده
The dramatic increasing of IC technology has enabled multiple million gate FPGAs to be integrated in the same board. The performance for the large and complex custom computations can be greatly improved by implementing them in the reconfigurable hardware process elements, without enduring the huge design cost for an ASIC. However, to fully take the advantage of these hardware platforms and achieve the projected goals, i.e., several order magnitude of speedup over the pure software implementation, these hardware resources must be utilized in an efficient way, which has exacerbated the problems in the current design flow.

A flexible tree-based platform for design space exploration of hierarchical FPGA architectures
For many years, research on FPGA-type programmable hardware architectures has focused mainly on optimising regular non-hierarchical architectures. In the exploration of their design space, some design parameters have a significant impact on the layout area, which is directly related to interconnect delay. An estimation of this impact can be derived from a prediction of the area of the basic FPG...

This paper describes an automated approach to hardware design space exploration, through a collaboration between parallelizing compiler technology and high-level synthesis tools. In previous work, we described a compiler algorithm that optimizes individual loop nests, expressed in C, to derive an efficient FPGA implementation. In this paper, we describe a global optimization strategy that maps ...
متن کاملRapid prototyping of Networks-on-Chip on multi-FPGA platforms
Experimental approaches used for architecture exploration and validation are often based on configurable logic device such as FPGA. NoC architectures require multi-FPGA platforms as the resources of a single FPGA are not big enough. Partitionning a NoC on multi-FPGA requires special techniques for allocating communication channels, physical links and suitable resource allocation scheme. We pres...
متن کاملSelf authentication path insertion in FPGA-based design flow for tamper-resistant purpose
FPGA platforms have been widely used in many modern digital applications due to their low prototyping cost, short time-to-market and flexibility. Field-programmability of FPGA bitstream has made it as a flexible and easy-to-use platform. However, access to bitstream degraded the security of FPGA IPs because there is no efficient method to authenticate the originality of bitstream by the FPGA pr...
