Project: Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration
Through this project-driven seminaries students will be able to develop a fully working dynamically reconfigurable system using Vivado Design tools and dynDet (dynamic partial reconfiguration design tool) developed by ARCO research group, University of Castilla-La Mancha. The project will be divided into three main parts: a) Introduction to a dynamically reconfigurable systems: theory and practical considerations. b) Design of a simple example of partially reconfigurable system, with
- ne reconfigurable area.
c) Design of a more complex example of a partial reconfigurable system with two reconfigurable areas and several reconfigurable modules.

Project: Scientific HPC using HLS
HPC is, in essence, the art of doing things not only fast but in parallel, so you can boost the throughput levels of your system. This project introduces general ideas behind and basic principles of HPC tailored for an FPGA-based computer. The focus will be put on the main techniques to parallelize algorithms and how the result can be mapped to a network of hardware concurrent tasks; ready to be deployed in a FPGA chip. Other high-throughput strategies such as stream processing architectures will be learnt. Xilinx’s FPGA floating point support will be also studied, so the student gets an accurate picture of the actual capabilities of the Zynq technology concerning this important pillar in scientific HPC. The use case selected for this project is the multiplication of two floating-point
- matrixes. As simple as it might seem, the use of matrix multiplication is key in linear
algebra and plays an important role in quantum mechanics, and all throughout
- physics. The simplicity of the algorithm allows the student to focus on the
techniques and procedures to be applied so as to evolve the baseline project into an embedded HPC implementation.
