A High Speed Transaction Hardware Channel in Loosely-coupled Reconfigurable Computing Emulation System

摘要：

The loosely-coupled reconfigurable computing model includes the host microprocessor in conjunction with an external stand-alone reconfigurable hardware which takes advantage of low cost in technology and development time. It can work as a fast emulation approach to study reconfigurable computing prototype system. One of the key features of such emulation system is the ability to perform the communication. In this paper, we proposed a high speed hardware channel with direct memory access(DMA) transaction method based on Xilinx ML5S5 development kit and PCI Express(peripheral component interconnection express) endpoint block IP. Experiments show that both read and write transaction speed in this design meet the theoretical maximum speed.
