Abstract

A significant obstacle to the widespread adoption of FPGA-based configurable computing hardware has been the difficulty of mapping applications onto this hardware. We are developing a software development system called CHAMPION to automate the process of mapping applications in the graphical software environment Khoros to multiple FPGA-based architectures. The work described were consists of the development of requirements for thee library primitives used by CHAMPION and the manual mapping of an automatic target recognition algorithm onto FPGA hardware
