Advanced Design: Performance, Power, and Density In Modern FPGA Architectures

Abstract

In this class, logic design techniques will be covered with an analysis of their resource usage.  Optimizing for raw performance is needed for the highest performing special-purpose processors.  Minimal power consumption is often required for small science experiments.  And high density is critical for volume and mass limited missions.  Use of different techniques will be demonstrated and analyzed showing how different implementations yield different resource usage.  The combination of algorithms combined with modern FPGA architectures will be discussed, showing how the both combined yield optimal solutions.
