While ten years ago a single game designer simply needed passion, motivation, programming knowledge and a lot of time to develop his own computer game, the production process for modern software title has evolved to a complex software engineering project, developed by a team of several dozen specialists funded by a multi-million dollar investment. In fact, most founders of gaming companies are ...

A new application of field programmable gate-arrays is featured in the prototype of the University of Hawaii parallel computer (HPC). User programs are compiled and then executed partly or completely in one or more field programmable gate-arrays (FPGAs). Some compile-for-FPGA systems have yet to effectively implement full high-level language loop constructs. In this paper we show how the condit...
