Reconfigurable computing using Field Programmable Devices (FPD) provides a method to utilize the available logic resources on the chip for various computations. The basic ability of reconfigurable computing is to perform computations in hardware to increase performance, while retaining the flexibility of application software. The purpose of this paper is to analysis the effect of technology map...

Many image processing systems have real-time performance constraints. Systems implemented on general purpose processors maximise performance by keeping busy the small fixed number of available functional units such as adders and multipliers. In this paper we investigate the use of programmable logic devices to accelerate the execution of an application. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) ca...

We suggest a basic fast algorithm for the noncoherent digital processing of the radio signals consisting of the minimum number of simple arithmetic operations over a signal period. On its basis there can be realized the algorithms and the correspondent digital devices for detection and noncoherent demodulation of signals with amplitude, frequency modulation and differential phase keying.

The drastic advances in semiconductor technology in the last decade have made field programmable logic devices (FPLDs) with tens of millions gates common place integrated logic circuits. To allow designers to cope and use these high density FPLDs (densities are still growing) and associated increasingly sophisticated computer-aided engineering (CAE) logic development tools, higher level of abst...

In this paper, we present a high-level power modeling technique to estimate the power consumption of reconfigurable devices such as complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). For simplicity of reference, we simply refer to these devices as FPGAs. First, we capture the relationship between FPGA power dissipation and I/O signal statistics. We then use a...

This paper presents an example of using a hardwaresoftware codesign by implementation of the RSA cipher embedded in Field Programmable Logic Devices (FPLDs). The effect of moving the computationally most expensive parts of RSA into an optimized scalable Montgomery Multiplication (MM) coprocessor is analyzed and compared with a pure software solution.

Mechatronic engineering is about integration of different engineering disciplines, mainly mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and software engineering. Within the machine and plant engineering process, software engineering is part of automation engineering, which deals with configuration and programming of devices like programmable logic controllers (PLC), motion controllers, and hu...

Introduction As time-to-market pressures increase, design engineers continually look for ways to advance the development of system-level products and ensure problem-free manufacturing. Programmable logic devices (PLDs) that support in-system programmability (ISP) can help accelerate development time, simplify manufacturing flow, lower inventory costs, and improve printed circuit board (PCB) tes...
