A popular way to exploit high level programming languages in FPGA designs is to use a soft-core with accompanying software development tools. However, a common shortcoming with the current soft-core offerings is their limited software execution capability: the required performance for the implementation can be often reached only with instruction set extensions. In this paper, we propose and evaluate...
Considering the ability to perform multi-processor architecture systems on FPGA, partial reconfiguration is an opportunity to improve weak soft-core performances by specializing coprocessors according to context-dependent application needs. But at the application level, there is a need for straightforward programming models that allow applications to be easily mapped on an ad hoc architecture without...
We will present a survey of trends in the semiconductor industry for programmable hardware. The main objective of this paper is educational and the focus is FPGAs and its related or vs technologies which have emerged mostly in the second half of the last decade. We will try to analyze what were the prominent reasons for emerging of these technologies. What are the advantages and drawbacks of them,...
Debugging hardware has always been difficult when compared to debugging software, in large part due to a lack of convenient visibility. This paper describes the open NIFD framework that provides software-like debugging facilities to both pure FPGA and hybrid FPGA/software platforms, allowing a designer to treat the hardware logic like a specialized remote software debug target. NIFD provides features...
