ABSTRACT
Communications infrastructure, data processing and industrial electronics are the cornerstone application areas for programmable logic today. But what are the application domains of tomorrow? What nascent application areas could explode the growth of programmable logic usage and expand the programmable market? In this workshop, we will hear speakers from industry and academia talk about the emerging application areas for FPGAs and the challenges and opportunities in these areas. We will consider how programmable hardware and the associated tools should be enhanced to become better-suited to tomorrow's applications. The overarching aim of the workshop is to seed ideas in the research community by giving an applications perspective of the fertile topics for future research on FPGA architecture, CAD and applications.

A Mixed-Grained Reconfigurable Computing Platform for Multiple-Standard Video Decoding (Abstract Only)
FPGA '15: Proceedings of the 2015 ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate ArraysA mixed-grained reconfigurable computing platform targeting multiple-standard video decoding is proposed in this paper. The platform integrates eight coarse-grained Reconfigurable Processing Units (RPUs), each of which consists of 16×16 multi-functional ...
Synthesizable Standard Cell FPGA Fabrics Targetable by the Verilog-to-Routing CAD Flow
Special Section on Field Programmable Logic and Applications 2015 and Regular PapersIn this article, we consider implementing field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) using a standard cell design methodology and present a framework for the automated generation of synthesizable FPGA fabrics. The open-source Verilog-to-Routing (VTR) FPGA ...
