Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) This paper studies several designs of network-based FPGA implementation of a stochastic simulation algorithm called the Next Reaction Method. Whole procedure of the algorithm is divided into several subdivisions which will be implemented as independent modules, and they are connected with configurable interconnection networks so as to provide high throughput. Area and throughput were measured for each type of network configuration, as well as studying each cause of bottleneck. By performing a multi-threading simulation, maximum of 3.6 times speedup was obtained compared to an execution on Xeon 3.20 GHz. Although current designs did not achieve significant speedup, performance analysis study of each network configuration suggested capability of throughput enhancement.
