Abstract
AbstractThis paper describes a PCI‐based FPGA card, SHOKE2000, which was developed in order to study reconfigurable computing. Since the latest Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) consist of input/output (I/O) configurable blocks as well as internal configurable logic blocks, they not only realize various user logic circuits but also connect with popular I/O standard easily. These features enable FPGAs to connect several devices with different interfaces, and thus new reconfigurable systems would be realizable by connecting the FPGAs with devices such as Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) and analog devices. This paper describes the basic functions of SHOKE2000, which was developed for realizing hybrid reconfigurable systems consisting of FPGAs, DSPs, and analog devices. We also present application examples of SHOKE2000, including a simple image recognition application, a distributed shared memory computer cluster, and teaching materials for computer education. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
