Abstract(in English) As the practical use of high performance FPGA increases, research on using FPGAs in the field of HPC (High Performance Computing) for scientific calculation is recently increasing. In contrast to the high-speed operation frequency of CPU, the configuration speed of FPGA is quite slow, which cause a serious overhead by the difference of CPU processing time and FPGA configuration time on HPC. Also in general, arithmetic operations in the FPGA and data in memory are separated by external I/Os which arises overhead for executing highly parallel operation in the FPGA. To avoid the overheads, we present a FPGA which can be partially reconfigured by the same action used for writing data in a memory, and also present the possibility for an FPGA for accessing memory without using external I/Os for reading and writing results of arithmetic operation done in the FPGA.
