FPGAs are special-purpose silicon chips that can be programmed to change their function. These devices can dynamically modify their function during operation to morph between different circuits. Reconfigurable FPGA hardware is often used to deliver greater performance per unit of space, power, and cost, compared with general-purpose central- and graphics-processing units (CPUs and GPUs) for a wide range of embedded applications.
"The Multimedia and Smart Camera markets, in particular, have a high need for added-value functionalities in order to effectively capture their growth potential. A flexible, low-cost system based on reconfigurable hardware can address that need and meet market demands much more effectively than traditional processor-based systems,” said Danilo Pau, Senior Member, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and Senior Principal Engineer, Senior Member of the Technical Staff, STMicroelectronics. "The technology developed as part of the FASTER project has the potential to boost computational power per silicon area per power consumption while adding a new dimension to embedded systems capabilities."
About FASTER
FP7 IC T 287804 FASTER (Facilitating Analysis and Synthesis Technologies for Effective Reconfiguration) is a multi-national research project partially funded by the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Program (FP7) for Research and Technological Development. The commercial partners in the project are: Maxeler Technologies, STMicroelectronics, and Synelixis Solutions. Research & Academic partners are: Chalmers University of Technology, Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas, Ghent University, Imperial College London, and Politecnico di Milano.
