Abstract :
In this paper we discuss how a typical Block RAM in an FPGA can be extended to enable the implementation of more efficient caches in FPGAs with very minor modifications to the existing Block RAM architectures. In addition, the modifications also allow other components, such as hash tables, to be implemented more efficiently.
