چکیده

Architecture: We investigate an architecture with all memory information on one side of the array, leaving computation on the other to achieve speed and compactness. The array consists of a column of CLB’s, interconnected by a Self-Routing Network. The network (Omega) routes data packets on the basis of their content. An 32 CLB array is 1.8Kx15K sq.lambda. With asynchronous signalling, logic-blocks are reconfigured as soon as their operands are ready. The delay across one stage of the network is 250ps(2lambda=.25um), with no need of a over GHz clock synchronizing the stages across the system. Low-power adaptive circuits were designed to maximize wire bandwidth. In this way, both logic-blocks and wiring resources are re-used over time reaching optimal hardware exploitation and task independence.

Fault Location in FPGA-Based Reconfigurable Systems

In this paper, we describe a new technique for locating faulty Lookup Tables (LUTs) in FPGA-based reconfigurable systems. The technique is in-place (does not alter the routing structure of the LUT network) and is based on pseudo-exhaustive Built-In Self-Test where each configured LUT is tested exhaustively. Our technique involves selective reprogramming of the LUTs and takes advantage of partia...

Self-Reconfiguration of Embedded Systems Mapped on Spartan-3

This paper describes the architecture and design flow of a self-reconfigurable embedded system, mapped on Spartan-3 low-cost FPGA. The proposed design flow combines EDK and ISE software along with an ownmade tool, in order to create a self-reconfigurable system able to map a reconfigurable OPB coprocessor. A fixed area of the FPGA is reserved to accommodate a set of coprocessors whose execution...
