Abstract

Advances in FPGA technologies allow designing highly complex systems using on-chip FPGA resources and intellectual property (IP) cores. Furthermore, it is possible to build multiprocessor systems using hard-core or soft-core processors increasing the range of applications that can be implemented on an FPGA. This paper presents an implementation of a symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) system on an FPGA using a vendor provided soft-core processor and a new set of software libraries specially developed for writing applications for this kind of systems. Experimental results show how this approach can improve performance of parallelizable software applications.

探索FPGA构建对称多处理器系统的能力

FPGA技术的进步允许使用片上FPGA资源和知识产权(IP)内核设计高度复杂的系统。此外，可以使用硬核或软核处理器构建多处理器系统，增加了可在FPGA上实现的应用范围。本文介绍了一种对称多处理器(SMP)系统在FPGA上的实现，该系统采用厂商提供的软核处理器和一套专门为这种系统编写应用程序而开发的新软件库。实验结果表明，该方法可以提高可并行软件应用程序的性能。
