The field programmable gate array (FPGA) market is expanding because FPGAs enable faster development times and lower development costs than mask programmable gate arrays (MPGAs).1) However, the conventional SRAM-based FPGA requires offchip, non-volatile PROMs to store configuration data, which increases the total device cost and the board area. To provide a low-cost solution for field programma...

The implementation of a microcoded elliptic curve processor using field-programmable gate array technology is described. This processor implements optimal normal basis field operations in 2 . The design is synthesized by a parameterized module generator, which can accommodate arbitrary and also produce field multipliers with different speed/area tradeoffs. The control part of the processor is m...

in the last few years, the electronic devices production field has witness a great revolution by having the new birth of the extraordinary FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) family platforms. These platforms are the optimum and best choice for the modern digital systems now a day. The parallel structure of a neural network makes it potentially fast for the computation of certain tasks. The sa...

Robotic control is currently an exciting and highly challenging research focus. Several solutions for implementing the control architecture for robots have been proposed (Kabuka et al., 1988; Yasuda, 2000; Li et al., 2003; Oh et al., 2003). Kabuka et al. (1998) apply two highperformance floating-point signal processors and a set of dedicated motion controllers to build a control system for a si...

|Programmable Active Memories (PAM) are a novel form of universal recon gurable hardware co-processor. Based on Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology, a PAM is a virtual machine, controlled by a standard microprocessor, which can be dynamically and inde nitely recongured into a large number of application-speci c circuits.

How does the performance of Cell, field-programmable gate array (FPGA), and multi-core computers compare for finitedifference modeling of the acoustic wave equation? In this paper I answer this question by assessing implementations on each of these architectures. Results show that on average, 7.49, 5.01, and 3.74 GFLOPs were sustained, respectively, by the FPGA, quad-core, and Cell machines for...

This paper concentrates on the optimisations and tradeoffs required to implement a colour segmentation based object tracking algorithm on a small Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The algorithm consists of colour conversion, segmentation and labelling, morphological filtering, and bounding box based object recognition, and is able to track up to 4 independent coloured targets. By optimising...

In this paper, the design and implementation of a real-time traffic light control system based on Fieldprogrammable Gate Array (FPGA) technology is reported. The traffic light control system is designed with VHDL language. Its function was verified with simulation. After that, the VHDL design was downloaded to FPGA board hardware to verify its function in experiment. The designed traffic light ...
