An XUP-UNM educational platform: A dual-FPGA platform for reconfigurable logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new educational platform for teaching reconfigurable logic. The new platform includes two FPGAs, separate instruction and data buses, serial and parallel port connections, and extensive I/O connections for interfacing with other reconfigurable computing boards. The platform was successfully tested at the University of New Mexico, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Texas at El Paso, and the West Point military academy. Online documentation details the entire design, fabricating, assembly, and testing phases. All design information is freely available online. 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Fine-Grain reconfigurable platform: FPGA hardware design and software toolset development
A complete system for the implementation of digital logic in a fine-grain reconfigurable platform is introduced. The system is composed of two parts: The fine-grain reconfigurable hardware platform (FPGA) on which the logic is implemented and the set of CAD tools for mapping logic to the FPGA platform. A novel energy-efficient FPGA architecture is presented (CLB, interconnect network, configura...
متن کاملA Virtual Logic Algorithm for Solving Satisfiability Problems Using Reconfigurable Hardware
Satisfiability (SAT) is a computationally expensive algorithm central to computer science. In this paper, we present a virtual logic algorithm that allows an FPGA based reconfigurable computing platform to process SAT solver circuits much larger than its available capacity. Our algorithm is based on decomposition techniques that create independent subproblems that fit the size of the available ...

متن کاملPlatform Design Approach for Re-configurable Network Appliances
The presented platform-based object-oriented modeling concept for system design allowed us to create a networked hardware reconfigurable camera in a 25 man-month schedule with concurrent development of application and target FPGA platform. The developed TCP/IP layer achieves throughput of 2Mb/s/MHz and the complete application logic consumes 700 mW at 20MHz.
