Monte Carlo simulation is mainly done in computer clusters, supercomputers or computers coupled with hardware accelerators. These processing methods are sufficiently fast; however, this speed comes at the expense of physical area and power consumption. The current study aims to use System-OnProgrammable-Chip (SOPC) to accomplish the same task but using a smaller physical area. The SOPC approach...

The execution time improvements achieved in a generic microprocessor system by employing a highperformance data-path are presented. The data-path acts as a coprocessor that accelerates computational intensive kernel regions thereby increasing the overall performance. The data-path has been previously introduced and it is composed by Flexible Computational Components (FCCs) that can realize any ...
