This is the first book to focus on designing run-time reconfigurable systems on FPGAs, in order to gain resource and power efficiency, as well as to improve speed.  Case studies in partial reconfiguration guide readers through the FPGA jungle, straight toward a working system.  The discussion of partial reconfiguration is comprehensive and practical, with models introduced together with methods to implement efficiently the corresponding systems.  Coverage includes concepts for partial module integration and corresponding communication architectures, floorplanning of the on-FPGA resources, physical implementation aspects starting from constraining primitive placement and routing all the way down to the bitstream required to configure the FPGA, and verification of reconfigurable systems.

FPGAs for Software Programmers

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 31st International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS 2018, held in Braunschweig, Germany, in April 2018.The 23 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 53 submissions.

This book makes powerful Field Programmable GateArray (FPGA) and reconfigurable technology accessible to software engineers bycovering different state-of-the-art high-level synthesis approaches (e.g.,OpenCL and several C-to-gates compilers). It introduces FPGA technology, itsprogramming model, and how various applications can be implemented on FPGAswithout going through low-level hardware design phases. Readers will get arealistic sense for problems that are suited for FPGAs and how to implementthem from a software designer’s point of view. The authors demonstrate that FPGAs and their programming model reflectthe needs of stream processing problems much better than traditional CPU or GPUarchitectures, making them well-suited for a wide variety of systems, fromembedded systems performing sensor processing to large setups for Big Datanumber crunching.  This book serves as aninvaluable tool for software designers and FPGA design engineers who are interestedin high design productivity through behavioural synthesis, domain-specificcompilation, and FPGA overlays.Introduces FPGA technology to softwaredevelopers by giving an overview of FPGA programming models and design tools,as well as various application examples;Provides a holistic analysis of the topic andenables developers to tackle the architectural needs for Big Data processingwith FPGAs;Explains the reasons for the energy efficiencyand performance benefits of FPGA processing;Provides a user-orientedapproach and a sense for where and how to apply FPGA technology.

Dieses Buch enthält 300 Fragen und Antworten aus der Hals-Nasen-Ohren-Heilkunde. Der Leser findet nicht nur Fragen zu Erkrankungen, Diagnosemethoden und Therapien, sondern auch viel Kurioses und Seltenes aus der HNO und der Medizin, worüber auch erfahrene HNO-Ärzte ins Grübeln geraten.
