A Scalable, Low-Overhead Finite-State Machine Overlay for Rapid FPGA Application Development
David Wilson,
Greg Stitt
Abstract:Productivity issues such as lengthy compilation and limited code reuse have restricted usage of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), despite significant technical advantages. Recent work into overlays-virtual coarse-grained architectures implemented atop FPGAs-has aimed to address these concerns through abstraction, but have mostly focused on pipelined applications with minimal control requirements. Although research has introduced overlays for finite-state machines, those architectures suffer from limited … Show more
