Field-Programmable Logic: Architectures, Synthesis and Applications

4th International Workshop on Field-Programmable Logic and Applications, FPL'94, Prague, Czech Republic, September 7 - 9, 1994. Proceedings

This volume contains the proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Field-Programmable Logic and Applications (FPL '94), held in Prague, Czech Republic in September 1994. The growing importance of field-programmable devices is substantiated by the remarkably high number of 116 submissions for FPL '94; from them, the revised versions of 40 full papers and 24 high-quality poster presentations were accepted for inclusion in this volume. Among the topics treated are: testing, layout, synthesis tools, compilation research and CAD, trade-offs and experience, innovations and smart applications, FPGA-based computer architectures, high-level design, prototyping and ASIC emulators, commercial devices, new tools, CCMs and HW/SW co-design, modelers, educational experience, and novel architectures.

A special purpose processor originally designed for Monte-Carlo simulation
using Metropolis type algorithms has been reconfigured to allow the use of a new
improved class of Monte-Carlo algorithm without compromising the processor's
performance. 1 Introduction In Monte-Carlo simulations and digital signal
processing applications it has often proved advantageous to use specially
constructed processors in place of general purpose computers. SRAM-bascd
