FPGA Tool-Flow Studies Worksho hosted by CHREC

FPGA Tool-Flow Studies Workshop hosted by CHREC

Last Updated: July 9, 2008

In September of 2007, two nine-month research studies were funded by DARPA to develop proposed research roadmaps that reflect and address the fundamental challenge in FPGA-based reconfigurable computing, that being productivity and tool flow in application development. CHREC was funded to conduct one of these studies (at that time consisting of its two founding university sites, the University of Florida and the George Washington University), and the Brigham Young University teaming with Virginia Tech was funded to conduct the other study (both universities later selected by NSF as new sites of CHREC in December 2007). The culmination of these two studies was the FPGA Tool-Flow Studies Workshop held on June 5, 2008, in Salt Lake City. The purpose of this workshop was for an invited audience of DOD-related industry, government, and academic experts in this field to review, refine, and integrate the proposed roadmaps from these two research studies.
