Abstract

This paper describes the design of an interpreter that overcomes FPGA resource limitations for a class of control-oriented circuits by automatically partitioning, elaborating, and loading circuit components as directed by their execution. By providing a virtual hardware management facility, this enables us to implement large systems, specified in Circal, on small FPGA chips.
