Designing and debugging custom computing applications

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an integrated circuit (IC) with a primary circuit structure for performing multiple operations that implement a user design, and a secondary monitoring circuit for analyzing the monitored operations and reporting on the analysis to a circuit outside of the IC.

TL;DR: In this paper, a configurable trigger circuit that receives a set of configuration data that specifies an operational event is used to determine whether the event has occurred during implementation of the user design of the IC.

TL;DR: In this paper, a configurable IC includes a configuration network for rapid loading configuration data in the IC from outside of the IC, where the configuration network is a pipelined network and a configuration controller for retrieving configuration data from outside the IC and routing the configuration data sets to the second set of configurable circuits over the network.

TL;DR: Computer-aided design tools are presented, which complement conventional FPGA design environments to enable the specification, simulation, synthesis, automatic placement and routing, partial configuration generation and control of partially reconfigurable designs.

TL;DR: A configurable custom computing engine, based on field programmable gate arrays, to enable experiments on an interesting scale, using Teramac to conduct experiments with special purpose processors involving search of nontext databases.

TL;DR: The architecture of Splash 2 is designed to accelerate the solution of problems which exhibit at least modest amounts of temporal or data parallelism, and has been shown to be effective on a variety of applications, including text searching, sequence analysis, and image processing.

TL;DR: XBI(tm), the Xilinx Bitstream Interface is a set of Java (tm) classes which provide an Application Program Interface (API) into theXilinx FPGA bitstream, which provides the capability of designing, modifying and dynamically modifying circuits in XILinx XC4000 (tm).

TL;DR: This work exhibits a dozen applications where PAM technology proves superior, both in performance and cost, to every other existing technology, including supercomputers, massively parallel machines, and conventional custom hardware.
