Benefits

Cooperations

We encourage everybody — academia or industry — to get in touch with us for any kind of collaboration that is related to the reconfiguration of FPGAs.
We can contribute with our leading experiance on tools and methodologies to implement the world most sophisticated reconfigurable systems. We are in particular interested on applications that can materially benefit from runtime reconfiguration. But there exist plenty of theoretical problems that have not been solved so far and that we would like to investigate with interested partners. This includes operating system aspects, interprocess communication as well as analysis, simulation and verification of reconfigurable systems.

Our present core partners are:

Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA), Kongsberg, Norway	Simula Research Laboratory, Lysaker, Norway

Computer Engineering Group at the University of Paderborn, Germany Prof. Marco Platzner	Circuits and Systems Group, Iperial College, London, UK Prof. Peter Y. K. Cheung

We are members of the Maxeler University Program Maxeler is kindly providing us a MAX3 system that we use for a high-performance database accelerator. In that system, we execute SQL queries by stitching together pre-implemented modules by partial run- time reconfiguration. We are currently testing a query processing throughput close to 20 GB/s.

We would kindly like to thank our supporters:

The Research Council of Norway for funding our project	Xilinx for providing free tools and boards
