Samenvatting

In the two decades since field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) were introduced, they have radically changed the way digital logic is designed and deployed. By marrying the high performance of custom VLSI chips with the flexibility of microprocessors, FPGAs have made possible entirely new types of applications. From full-chip logic verification to radar and image-processing tasks, FPGA-based solutions are often the most efficient way to perform some of today's most challenging tasks.

To make the most of this combination of performance and flexibility, designers must understand hardware, software, and FPGA-based application development. This book will teach designers all these issues, enabling them to exploit the vast opportunities possible with reconfigurable logic.

This book includes:
- Introduction to FPGA chips and computing boards, including current devices, reconfigurable computing-specific chips, and fast reconfiguration systems
- Models and languages for coding reconfigurable computing applications
- CAD flows for automatically mapping to reconfigurable systems
- Application development and optimization techniques critical for achieving high-quality FPGA-based designs
- Nine in - depth case studies of important FPGA applications
- Simple models for understanding the source of the FPGA benefits and the outlook for reconfigurable systems as Moore's Law scaling continues

This book provides a jumping on point for students and engineers from both hardware and software backgrounds to the challenges and opportunities associates with reconfigurable computing.
