Using Reconfigurable Processors as Control System Elements
نویسندگان
چکیده
A control system applying reconfigurable computers has been designed and built for the active alignment system of ATF at KEK. The system measures the relative position of accelerator components with a high precision allowing remote correction of the misalignments. A control system that acquires the data and permits the position control was developed. The system was built using reconfigurable logic as processing elements. To program the devices, a hardware compiler was utilized. The system structure, divided into functional levels and the tasks and processings done at each level is reported.

متن کاملCollaboration of reconfigurable processors in grid computing: Theory and application
Traditional grid networks employ General Purpose Processors (GPPs) as their main processing elements. Incorporating reconfigurable processing elements in such networks can be a promising technology to increase their performance. In this paper, we propose and simulate collaboration of reconfigurable processors in grid computing. Collaborative Reconfigurable Grid Computing (CRGC) employs the avai...

Application-specific circuits are used to migrate computer systems from workstations to handheld devices that need real-time performance within the budget for physical size and energy dissipation. However, these circuits are inflexible as any modification requires redesign and refabrication, which is both expensive and time-consuming considering the complexity of recent embedded platforms. Ther...

متن کاملIncremental programming for reconfigurable engines
We present an incremental approach to developing programs for reconfigurable engines, systems which contain both instruction processors and reconfigurable hardware. The purpose is to support rapid production of prototypes, as well as their further systematic refinement and adaptation when required. The key elements of our approach include abstractions and tools based on high-level descriptions,...
