Previous work has shown that physical models can execute fast on FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays). We introduce an approach for implementing physical models on FPGAs that applies graph theoretic techniques to make use of a physical model's natural structure--tree, ring, chain, etc.--resulting in model execution speedups. A first phase of the approach maps physical model equations to a structured virtual PE (processing element) graph using graph theoretic folding techniques. A second phase maps the structured virtual PE graph to physical PE regions on an FPGA using graph embedding theory. We also present a simulated annealing approach with custom cost and neighbor functions that can map any physical model onto an FPGA with low wire costs. Average circuit speedup improvements over previous works for various physical models are 65% using the graph embedding and 35% using the simulated annealing approach. Each approach's more efficient use of FPGA resources also enables larger models to be implemented on an FPGA device.","PeriodicalId":87257,"journal":{"name":"FPGA.

Combining the power of GPUs with the flexibility of FPGAs enlarges the scope of problems that can be accelerated [2, 3]. We describe the performance analysis of a desktop equipped with a GPU Tesla 2050 and an FPGA Virtex-6 LX240T. First, the balance between the I/O and the raw peak performance is depicted using the roofline model [4]. Next, the performance of a number of image processing algorithms is measured and the results are mapped onto the roofline graph. This allows to compare the GPU and the FPGA and also to optimize the algorithms for both accelerators. A programming toolchain is implemented, consisting of OpenCL for the GPU and several High-Level Synthesis compilers for the FPGA. Our results show that the HLS compilers outperform handwritten code and offer a performance comparable to the GPU. In addition the FPGA compilers reduce the development time by an order of magnitude, at the expense of an increased resource consumption. The roofline model also shows that both accelerators are equally limited by the input/output bandwidth to the host. A well-tuned accelerator-based codesign, identifying the parallelism, the computation and data patterns of different classes of algorithms, will enable to maximize the performance of the combined GPU/FPGA system [1].","PeriodicalId":87257,"journal":{"name":"FPGA.

It is no longer possible to ensure an optimal resource utilization using manual organization techniques due to the increasing complexity of lookup schemes, as well as the large number of potential implementation choices. We have developed an automated tool, AutoMapper, which can map lookup schemes onto a particular target architecture optimally, thereby providing a superior alternative to the time-consuming and resource inefficient technique of manual conversion. It is based on an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) formulation that is able to allocate the limited hardware resources for a single lookup scheme, while optimizing any of the three performance metrics of latency, throughput or power consumption. Accurate formulation of the objective function and the constraint equations guarantee optimality in terms of the chosen performance metric. We demonstrate the operation of the developed tool, by successfully mapping complex real world lookup schemes onto a state-of-the art FPGA device, with execution times being under a second on a dual-core computer with 4 GB of RAM, running at 2.40 GHz.","PeriodicalId":87257,"journal":{"name":"FPGA.

High barriers to entry keep most companies away, and enable high profit margins for the incumbents. The industry has grown greatly over the years, but still constitutes a small portion of the overall semiconductor market. This raises the question to be addressed by this panel: is the FPGA community innovating as much as it should, or is a bias to maintain high profit margins and protect the cash flow of the current FPGA market holding us back from exploring new ideas and products that could greatly expand the appeal of and market for FPGA-related technology? This would be a classic case of the innovator's dilemma defined by Clayton Christensen: it is difficult for a company to engage in creative destruction of a cash cow product.\u0000 Our distinguished panel of experts will discuss whether we are seeing major innovation in architectures, design flows and applications, or only incremental improvements. We will also discuss if any new (possibly low margin) application domain is left out by the FPGA industry, what radical ideas should be explored, and whether large incumbents, new startups, academia or some combination are best able to attack these new areas.","PeriodicalId":87257,"journal":{"name":"FPGA.
