چکیده
Labomat 3 is a reconngurable platform for teaching and research purposes developed by our laboratory. In this paper we describe in details the hardware and software of the board as well as three application domains: logic design, computer architecture, and codesign. The main features of the board are: a microprocessor associated with two mid-range FPGAs; a set of powerful software tools going from a real-time operating system to a JavaVM; easy to use design and simulation tools, and last but not least a network interface. The combination of these features makes Labomat 3 a unique teaching tool. Nevertheless, the board may also be used for advanced research: several boards connected together can form a powerful reconngurable parallel system.

متن کاملRecon gurable Computing: Architectures, Models and Algorithms
The performance requirements of applications have continuously superseded the computing power of architecture platforms. Increasingly larger number of transistors available on a chip have resulted in complex architectures and integration of various architecture components on the chip. But, the incremental performance gains obtained are lower as the complexity and the integration increase. Recon...
متن کاملResource pools : an abstraction for con gurable computing co - design
The utility of con gurable computing platforms has been demonstrated and documented for a wide variety of applications. Retargeting an application to custom computing machines (CCMs) has been shown to accelerate execution speeds with respect to execution on a sequential, general-purpose processor. Unfortunately, these platforms have proven to be rather di cult to programwhen compared to contemp...

متن کاملEvaluating the effectiveness of teaching nature-based strategies on the Bioarchitecture design process
Introduction: At a time when modern rational man saw himself as the source of all values and saw nature as an inexhaustible source of raw materials for the development of industry and the satisfaction of his needs, architecture became a tool for meeting the physical and material needs of man. The spread of this thinking led to many problems, including environmental crises; In order to improve...
