  • Abstract
    This paper proposes a novel approach to implement software object in hardware. Data-Memory mapping schemes are investigated and four hardware object design schemes are proposed and implemented on a CAD tool. Performance evaluation is carried out in Altera Ouartus tool in terms of speed, logic elements and number of transitions. The result of experiments shows that object-reference scheme is much better than the other 3 schemes in terms of hardware cost, energy consumption and speed for FPGA implementation.
