This paper investigate the possibility and effectiveness of multi-mode vibration control of a plate through real-time FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) implementation. This type of embedded system offers true parallel and high throughput computation abilities. The control object is an aluminum panel, clamped to a Perspex box’s upper side. Two types of control laws are studied. The first belo...

The field programmable gate array is the fastest growing technology. The bio-impedance measurement system is implemented in reconfigurable field programmable gate array hardware. The design of bio-impedance measurement system using Xilinx system generator is more convenient and cheaper for revising, if the Bio-impedance measurement system requires parameters changes in practical use, since no n...

The emerging technology of programmable logic devices enables a new kind of architecture for massively parallel. For such systems the traditional way of chip configuration is not useful anymore. This paper presents a concept for configuring massively parallel reconfigurable architectures. Furthermore a proof of concept is given by applying the configuration scheme to an reconfigurable architect...

Following the simple Programmable Logic Device (SPLD) and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) generations a third generation of programmable logic technologies is now reaching the marketplace. These new architectures are driven by the move to system level integration and fast expanding markets such as networking and wireless communications which are not addressed adequately by mainstream FPGA'...

The performance of fine-grained, cellular FPGAs is improving rapidly. In this paper, the experience of working with two relatively finegrained FPGA architectures, the Atmel 6005 FPGA and the Dynamically Programmable Logic Device (DPLD) from Pilkington Micro-electronics Ltd, is described.

This paper presents a summary of a study into the possibility of integration of eld programmable logic and optoelectronic devices. Our primary motivation is a recent development of dynamically recon-gurable FPGAs (DR FPGAs), for which the reconnguration time has a mandatory impact on their performance. We review limitations of DR FPGAs, discuss advantages of optically reconngurable logic, inves...

Although verification and simulation tools are always improving, the results they provide remain hard to analyze and interpret. On one hand, verification sticks to the functional description of the circuit, with no timing consideration. On the other hand, simulation runs mainly on subsets of the entire input domain. Furthermore, these tools provide results in a format (e.g. state graphs, bit ve...

The concept of dynamic recon gurability combines advantages of hardware and software. The goal is to make use of the structural advantages of hardware without losing the exibility of software. In this paper we present a recon gurable processor board which is based on the concept of dynamic recon gurability. We emphasize on the dynamic recon gurability of the system and the multi-chip module (MC...
