Abstract

[The FPGA is a digital integrated circuit that can be configured and programmed by the user to perform a variety of computational tasks [19]. These units work with integers or floating numbers, perform several types of arithmetic and logical operations, access and reference memory locations, and carry out sophisticated control structures involving loops and conditionals. Arguably, the way in which FPGAs merge hardware and software is what makes them unique. Consequently, the design of a reconfigurable algorithm will involve a variety of software and hardware considerations. Indeed, the programmer needs to understand not only the algorithmic structure of the problem to be solved but also the important details about the configuration of the hardware for optimal performance.]
