Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) FPGA-based rapid prototyping supports faster emulation, but it requires the detailed implementation for each FPGA characteristic, especially memory resources. It makes it harder to implement a sufficient memory system of the target architecture on FPGA. In this paper, we propose a new framework to automatically synthesize a specialized memory system for FPGA-based rapid prototyping. The framework provides an abstracted fast memory via a simple interface by employing on-chip memory fabrics and off-chip large-capacity memory components. We evaluated our framework on an actual FPGA system, by using an advanced multicore architecture as a target of prototyping. The evaluation result shows that the multicore designed with an assumption of infinite on-chip memory on FPGA can be emulated at realistic speed with keeping the cycle-accuracy, by using the synthesized memory system.
