Prototyping Environment for Dynamically Reconfigurable Logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
A prototyping environment specifically designed for research into dynamically reconfigurable logic is presented. The system provides for the rapid prototyping of designs which exploit the intrinsic dynamic reconfigurability of certain types of FPGAs. The development environment is universal in that it can accommodate a range of current and future FPGA architectures with only minor modification and also provides a flexible interface to host computer platforms so that it can be used with all of the major CAD tools.

A dynamically reconfigurable wavefront array architecture for evaluation of expressions
A reconfigurable wavefront array rDPA (reconfigurable datapath architecture) for evaluation of any arithmetic and logic expression is presented. Introducing a global I/O bus to the array simplifies the use as a coprocessor in a single bus oriented processor system. Fine grained parallelism is achieved using simple reconfigurable processing elements which are called datapath units (DPUs). The wo...

Performance requirements for on-board processing of satellite instrument data are steadily increasing. This demonstrator shows how today’s SoCs for satellite payload processing can be extended with high-speed interfaces and computing power utilizing commercial dynamically reconfigurable FPGAs. Reconfigurable hardware further allows for changing or adapting payload processing during the flight m...

A new FPGA architecture (reconfigurable datapath architecture, rDPA) for word-oriented datapaths is presented, which has been developed to support a variety of Xputer architectures. In contrast to von Neumann machines an Xputer architecture strongly supports the concept of the “soft ALU” (reconfigurable ALU). Fine grained parallelism is achieved by using simple reconfigurable processing element...

متن کاملOperation Scheduling in a Reconfigurable Computing Environment
We consider the problem of scheduling the operations of a data flow graph in a reconfigurable computing environment. In the recent years, FPGAs have become highly popular as a medium to rapidly prototype complex systems. As the FPGA technology improves in terms of speeds and the number of gates/chip, FPGAs are being used in system construction and not just for prototyping. Some innovations such...
