самоконфігуровна комп’ютерна система

Проаналізовано особливості засобів генерування програмних моделей обчислюваль- них пристроїв, порівняно характеристики цих засобів та запропоновано рекомендації щодо застосування цих засобів під час побудови самоконфігуровної комп’ютерної системи.

An overview and analysis of the features of the IP Cores generation facilities and a comparison of the characteristics of these facilities are presented in the paper. Recommendations in regard of their use in self-configurable computer system design are proposed.

Computer systems performance is today improved with two major approaches: general-purpose computer computing power increase (creation of multicore processors, multiprocessor computer systems, supercomputers), and adaptation of the computer hardware to the executed algorithm (class of algorithms). The last approach often provides application of hardware accelerators – ASIC-based and FPGA-based, also named reconfigurable, and is characterized by better performance / power consumption ratio and lower cost as compared to the general-purpose computers of equivalent performance.
