Abstract

Many signal processing applications traditionally implemented in ASICs are increasingly choosing FPGA solutions due to factors such as reduced cost, improved ease of design changes, and faster time-to-market. Today’s dynamic partial reconfiguration capabilities of FPGAs motivate architectural innovations to support these applications in heterogeneous computing environments. The use of novel frameworks via self-reconfiguration with efficient mapping to Processing Elements (PEs) and run-time system software support are the focus of the session. Potential topics include:

  • hardware acceleration of signal processing applications with reprogrammable logic devices,
  • algorithm characteristics and architecture design trade-offs among performance, power, and hardware resource utilization,
  • evolvable hardware and organic computing approaches using dynamic reconfiguration,
  • self-reconfiguring and adaptive applications of FPGAs, and
  • performance analysis or comparisons with commercial ASICs and programmable processors.
