Aim
The aim of this workshop is to bring together workers from throughout the
world for a wide ranging discussion of all forms of field programmable
logic (but particularly field programmable gate arrays) and their applications.
It is intended to discuss the increasing range of device types, industrial
applications, advanced CAD developments, research applications, novel systems
architectures and educational experiences. The workshop will include regular
presentations, posters and discussion sessions and is expected that most
of the delegates will wish to make some contribution to one or more of
these. The workshop is the sixth in a series of workshops which are held
in Oxford (1991, 1993 and 1995), Vienna (1992) and Prague (1994).
Scope
Field Programmable Logic has been available for a number of years, but
the increasing power and variety of devices now available is extending
its role from that of simply being a convenient way of implementing the
system 'glue logic' to an increasing ability to implement mainstream system
functions. The speed with which devices can be programmed makes them ideal
for prototyping and for education, the reprogrammable devices are opening
up sophisticated new applications and new hardware/software trade-offs.
CAD is being developed for automatic compilation of advanced designs and
routes to custom circuits are now available. The scope of the workshop
includes, but is not be limited to, the following aspects of Field Programmable
Logic and their applications:
-
New and future commercial devices
-
Novel chip architectures
-
New software and hardware development tools
-
Bridges to other CAD and to custom circuits
-
High-level design and compilation research
-
Industrial applications and experiences
-
Trade-offs between devices, architectures and technologies
-
Benchmark comparisons
-
Smart applications
-
Custom computers
-
Hardware/Software Co-Design using FPL
-
Novel machine paradigms and system architectures
-
ASIC emulators, hardware modellers and compiled accelerators
-
Fault models, testability methods, reliability
-
Educational experiences and opportunities
