| Abstract | Conventional Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) architectures leverage on the purely spatial computing model where a design is realized in the form of a small multiple-input single-output lookup tables (LUTs) connected through programmable interconnect switches. However, such a model incorporates an elaborate programmable interconnect network which becomes a major performance bottleneck and leads to poor scalability across process technology nodes. In this paper we evaluate an alternative two-dimensional static random access memory (SRAM) array based reconfigurable computing fabric, referred to as "Memory Based Computing" (MBC) that departs from a purely spatial architecture by advocating multi-cycle evaluation at each computational element. Within a computational element, it uses a dense two-dimensional SRAM array to map large multi-input multi-output functions as LUT and evaluate them in time-multiplexed topological fashion. Multi-cycle execution at each computing node is accomplished using a local interconnect architecture. The proposed framework substantially reduces the requirement for global interconnects by folding computational resources onto a single computational element. We explore the design space for MBC to optimize the major design parameters and compare the performance, power dissipation and energy-delay product for benchmark applications between MBC and conventional SRAM-based FPGA. Simulation results show that compared to a clustered FPGA model, the proposed framework achieves 57% improvement in performance, 30% improvement in Energy Delay Product (EDP) and 10% improvement in technological scalability of performance for standard benchmark circuits. Finally, we validate the functionality of MBC framework and timing of different operations by mapping several small applications on a Cyclone III FPGA platform from Altera. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
