Reconfigurable Computing

Part V. Case Studies of FPGA Applications

Parts I through IV covered technologies and techniques for creating efficient FPGA-based solutions to important problems. Part V focuses on specific, important field-programmable gate array (FPGA) applications, presenting case studies of interesting uses of reconfigurable technology. While this is by no means an exhaustive survey of all applications done on FPGAs, these chapters do contain several very interesting representative points in this space. They can be read in any order, and can even be interspersed with other chapters of this book.

This introduction should help readers identify the concepts the case studies cover and the chapters each help to illustrate. To understand the case studies, a basic ...
