Implementation and Performance Traits of Select Reconfigurable Computing Platforms

By Matt(hew) on December 10, 2007

The purpose of this project was to implement and run performance benchmarks on various reconfigurable computing (RC) platforms. During the process of implementation and benchmarking, all results as well as lessons learned where documented. Comparisons against pure software implementations where also made. In this paper we presented the results for three RC platforms: DS1002 development [...]

IRAS (Intelligent Refrigerator Alarm System)

IRAS (Intelligent Refrigerator Alarm System)

By Matt(hew) on June 2, 2007

I built IRAS in my Junior Design class. IRAS is a small self-contained and self-powered unit that will monitor the climate and door status of a refrigerator or freezer. The climate monitoring component outputs the temperature in °F and the relative humidity as a percentage on a low power reflective LCD screen. The Intelligent Refrigerator [...]

Small8 – My version of an 8-bit computer

Small8 – My version of an 8-bit computer

By Matt(hew) on June 2, 2007

My final project in my Digital Design class was to design a simple 8-bit computer (called Small8) using VHDL and Altera’s Cyclone FPGA. Small8 consists of an 8-bit processor (64K address space), RAM, and I/O ports. The Small8′s design is split into three sections: Overall Architecture, Central Processing Unit (CPU), and External Components. For more information [...]
