Advancing the Use of FPGA Co-Processors through Platforms and High-Level Design Flows (WP394) - FPGAs can be used to accelerate the performance and extend the capabilities of embedded processors, often with less cost and power than alternative multi-processor solutions. The main barrier to adoption of FPGAs for new users has been ease of use and design flow, which is now being addressed with new co-processing development platforms combined with high-level design methodologies.
