Reconfigurable Logic: Architecture, Tools, and Applications (Hardcover)

During the last three decades, reconfigurable logic has been growing steadily and can now be found in many different fields. Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are one of the most famous architecture families of reconfigurable devices. FPGAs can be seen as arrays of logic units that can be reconfigured to realize any digital systems. Their high versatility has enabled designers to drastically reduce time to market, and made FPGAs suitable for prototyping or small production series in many branches of industrial products. In addition, and thanks to innovations at the architecture level, FPGAs are now conquering segments of mass markets such as mobile communications.

Reconfigurable Logic: Architecture, Tools, and Applications offers a snapshot of the state of the art of reconfigurable logic systems. Covering a broad range of architectures, tools, and applications, this book:

• Explores classical FPGA architectures and their supporting tools
• Evaluates recent proposals related to FPGA architectures, including the use of network-on-chips (NoCs)
• Examines reconfigurable processors that merge concepts borrowed from the reconfigurable domain into processor design
• Exploits FPGAs for high-performance systems, efficient error correction codes, and high-bandwidth network routers with built-in security
• Expounds on emerging technologies to enhance FPGA architectures, improve routing structures, and create non-volatile configuration flip-flops

Reconfigurable Logic: Architecture, Tools, and Applications reviews current trends in reconfigurable platforms, providing valuable insight into the future potential of reconfigurable systems.

在過去的三十年中，可重組邏輯一直穩步發展，現在已經廣泛應用於許多不同的領域。可程式閘陣列（FPGAs）是最著名的可重組設備架構之一。FPGAs可以被視為邏輯單元的陣列，可以重新配置以實現任何數位系統。它們的高靈活性使設計師能夠大幅縮短上市時間，並使FPGAs適用於許多工業產品的原型製作或小批量生產。此外，由於在架構層面上的創新，FPGAs現在正在征服諸如移動通信等大眾市場的領域。

《可重組邏輯：架構、工具和應用》提供了可重組邏輯系統的最新發展現狀。本書涵蓋了廣泛的架構、工具和應用，包括：

- 探索傳統FPGA架構及其支援工具
- 評估與FPGA架構相關的最新提案，包括使用網絡互連（NoCs）
- 檢視將可重組領域的概念融入處理器設計的可重組處理器
- 利用FPGAs實現高性能系統、高效的錯誤修正碼和具有內建安全性的高頻寬網絡路由器
- 闡述增強FPGA架構、改進路由結構和創建非揮發性配置觸發器的新興技術

《可重組邏輯：架構、工具和應用》回顧了可重組平台的當前趨勢，為可重組系統的未來潛力提供了有價值的見解。
