Reconfigurable Computing I: Motivation and Concepts
نویسنده
چکیده
This lecture introduces reconfigurable computing and the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) by discussing the density advantage of configurable computing and some of the trade offs involved in designing and FPGA. Some important conclusions were that wiring and routing area dominate total area, three and four input lookup tables are ideal for area efficiency, five and six input lookup tables are ideal for speed efficiency, and FPGAs achieve a high computational density by utilizing shallow instruction memories at low fabrication costs.

(ABSTRACT) FPGAs provide an ideal template for run-time reconfigurable (RTR) designs. Only recently have RTR enabling design tools that bypass the traditional synthesis and bitstream generation process for FPGAs become available. The JBits tool suite is an environment that provides support for RTR designs on Xilinx Virtex and 4K devices. This research provides a comprehensive design process des...
