Abstract

The WILDFORCE^TM XL card is the newest addition to the WILDFIRE^TM family of reconfigurable computing engines. The high-performance WILDFORCE^TM XL card takes advantage of the fast, high-capacity, low-power Xilinx XC4000-XL FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays) processing elements. This paper introduces the WILDFORCE^TM XL custom computing machine and describes an example application that uses the new technology
