VLSI DESIGN PROCESS FOR LOW POWER DESIGN METHODOLOGY USING RECONFIGURABLE FPGA
Ramkrishna Prasad · International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology · 2012
Modern digital processing applications have an increasing demand for computational power while needing to preserve low power dissipation and high flexibility.For many applications, the growth of algorithmic complexity is already faster than the growth of computational power provided by discrete general-purpose processors.A typical approach to address this problem is the combination of a processor core with dedicated accelerators.Since changes in standards or algorithms can change the demands on the accelerators, an attractive alternative to highly customized VLSI macros is suggested with the usage of reconfigurable embedded FPGAs (eFPGAs).
