Abstract

A new architecture for Golomb ruler derivation has been developed, and an FPGA-based custom compute engine of the new architecture has been fully designed. The new FCCM, called GE1, is presented in terms of its datapath, and control path. Portions of the GE1 have been implemented to verify functional correctness and accuracy of the simulation results. The new machine requires twenty Xilinx 5000 series FPGA´s for derivation of the 20 mark Golomb ruler, and its performance is roughly 30 times that of a high-end workstation, making its cost-performance ratio exceptionally good for derivation of new rulers
