FPGA-Based Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Digital Quantum Coprocessors

Multitasking on FPGA Coprocessors

Multitasking on an FPGA-based processor is one possibility to explore the efficacy of reconfigurable computing. Conventional computers and operating systems have demonstrated the many advantages of sharing computational hardware by several tasks over time. The ability to do run-time configuration and readback of FPGAs in a coprocessor architecture allows investigating the problems of implementi...

On the viability of FPGA-based integrated coprocessors

This paper examines the viability of using integrated programmable logic as a coprocessor to support a host CPU core. This adaptive coprocessor is compared to a VLIW machine in term of both die area occupied and performance. The parametric bounds necessary to justify the adoption of an FPGA-based coprocessor are established. An abstract Field Programmable Gate Array model is used to investigate...

Performance of Remote FPGA-Based Coprocessors for Image-Processing Applications

This paper describes a performance evaluation of ImageProcessing applications on FPGA-based coprocessors that are part of general-purpose computers. Our experiments show that the maximum speed-up depends on the amount of data processed by the coprocessor. Taking images with 256 x 256 pixels, a moderate FPGA capacity of 10E+5 CLBs provides two orders of magnitude of performance improvement over ...

FPGA-Based Architecture Evaluation of Cryptographic Coprocessors for Smartcards

Hyperelliptic Curve Coprocessors on a FPGA

Cryptographic algorithms are used in a large variety of different applications to ensure security services. It is, thus, very interesting to investigate various implementation platforms. Hyperelliptic curve schemes are cryptographic primitives to which a lot of attention was recently given due to the short operand size compared to other algorithms. They are specifically interesting for special-...
