Abstract

In this paper a dataflow architecture is introduced that maps efficiently onto multi-FPGA platforms and is composed of communication channels which can be dynamically adapted to the dataflow of the algorithm. The reconfiguration of the topology can be accomplished within a single clock cycle while DSP operations are in progress. Finally, the programmability and scalability of the proposed architecture is demonstrated by a high-performance parallel FFT implementation.
