TLDR
The use of programmable devices spans rapid prototyping and dynamically reconfigurable systems and the market is projected to raise rapidly to levels that make this type of devices very appealing for merchant IC manufacturers.Abstract:
User programmable devices are becoming more and more important for system design because of their flexibility that allows much shorter design time and hence better time-to-market. The use of programmable devices spans rapid prototyping and dynamically reconfigurable systems. The market is projected to raise rapidly to levels that make this type of devices very appealing for merchant IC manufacturers. Some of the issues related to the future of these devices as well as to the future of system design methodologies are presented.read more

Implementation of FFT on General-Purpose Architectures for FPGA
TL;DR: The authors' approach proves that implementing a programmable architecture on FPGA and then programming it using a high-level software language is a viable alternative to designing a dedicated hardware block with a hardware description language HDL and mapping it onFPGA.
