Rapid System Prototyping with FPGAs: Accelerating the design process Benjamin F. Harding, RC Cofer
Publisher: Newnes

Other platforms for hardware acceleration out there are based on FPGAs, either commercial or custom. Consequently, our topics vary Abstract: Power delivery for a part (be it memory, logic, or otherwise) is of paramount importance, requiring the need to design a Power Delivery Network system which is optimized for the various models of die demand, at the least risk of resonances. Advanced technologies and design tools make possible the development prototype systems in less than three months. Figure 1: Three-year trends in manufacturing process nodes for current ASIC/ASSP/SoC prototypes based on FPGAs. Parallels between a tree-house project and system-level design: It's all about setup, turnaround time and debugging. Drivven (drivven.com), a National Instruments (ni.com) company, has unveiled six new C Series modules designed to give powertrain control system developers the ability to rapidly prototype their engine sensor and actuator interfaces using the NI LabVIEW FPGA Module. The new Analog Devices FMC boards include all of the HDL (hardware description language) code and device drivers needed for designers to engage in rapid prototyping and reduce development time and risk. Ingo Ederer introduced the company's VX4000 3D printing system, saying it could “generate molds the size of a sports car. Rapid prototyping of imaging systems accelerates. Accelerating Sensor Development with Rapid Prototyping and Model-Based Design . Model-Based Design enables engineers to develop FPGA prototypes much faster and with a greater degree of confidence than with a traditional, manual workflow. Perhaps of greater interest is the rapid movement in chips To achieve these capabilities, chip manufactures must upgrade or replace existing equipment to systems that support the latest process nodes. Rapid System Prototyping with FPGAs: Accelerating the design process By RC Cofer, Benjamin F. Rapid System Prototyping with FPGAs: Accelerating the design process by RC Cofer, Benjamin F. NASA Langley's MATLAB based control system fully automates the welding process and produces complex components from a 3D CAD representation. Accelerating the pace of engineering and science. 2010 Survey data suggests a rapid increase in ASIC designs targeted below 65nm process node. We wanted this year to present some of the challenges Synopsys customers face to ensure successful AMS design validation for advanced process nodes. Last year, voxeljet technology GmbH (voxeljet.de) CEO Dr. As a result there is We do see a clear need for FPGA-based hardware acceleration, as well, and in fact offer those systems called Rapid Prototyping Platform RPP as part of the System Development Suite.
