Abstract

The architecture of Xilinx FPGAs, has changed remarkable with respect to their ability to implement runtime reconfigurable systems throughout the last generations. This paper will discuss these changes and reveal an on-FPGA communication architecture that is especially tailored to Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGAs. With this architecture, modules can be integrated in a two-dimensional grid with more than a hundred of individual tiles while allowing a throughput of several GB/s to reconfigurable modules.
