Reconfigurable Architectures for System LevelApplications of Adaptive Computing

[摘要] The System Level Applications of Adaptive Computing (SLAAC) project is defining anopen, distributed, scalable, adaptive computing systems architecture based on a highspeednetwork cluster of heterogeneous, FPGA-accelerated nodes. Two reference implementationsof this architecture are being created. The Research Reference Platform(RRP) is a MyrinetTMcluster of PCs with PCI-based FPGA accelerators (SLAAC-1).The Deployable Reference Platform (DRP) is a Myrinet cluster of PowerPCTMnodeswith VME-based FPGA accelerators (SLAAC-2) and a commercial 6U-VME quad-PowerPC board (CSPI M2641S) serving as the carrier. A key strategy proposed forsuccessful ACS technology insertions is source-code compatibility between the RRP andDRP platforms. This paper focuses on the development of the SLAAC-1 and SLAAC-2accelerators and how the network-centric SLAAC system-level architecture has shapedtheir designs. A preliminary mapping of a Synthetic Aperture Radar/Automatic TargetRecognition (SAR/ATR) algorithm to SLAAC-2 is also discussed.
