自 1985 年发布第一个商用现场可编程门阵列 (FPGA) 以来，由于技术扩展、架构进步和功能增加，设备的所有指标都在不断改进。在本文中，我们探讨了与研究设计相关的性能和利用率趋势，作为 FPGA 技术进步的函数。使用的数据是过去 20 年 IEEE 国际现场可编程定制计算机 (FCCM) 研讨会上提出的设计的子集。将这些趋势与理论和供应商来源、生成的模型和进行的比较进行比较。最后，我们将分析得出的工作频率趋势与映射到四代设备的一组供应商 IP 核所表现出的趋势进行比较。这项调查的结果表明，设计实现通常遵循理论趋势，并且嵌入式硬 IP 模块的包含为设计人员提供了额外的性能优势。
Since the release of the first commercial field programmable gate array (FPGA) in 1985, devices have enjoyed continuous improvements in all metrics due to technology scaling, architectural advances and the addition of features. In this paper, we explore performance and utilization trends associated with research designs as a function of FPGA technology progression. The data used is a subset of designs presented at the IEEE International Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines (FCCM) over the past 20 years. These are compared to trends from theoretical and vendor sources, models generated and comparisons made. Finally, we compare operating frequency trends from our analysis to the trends exhibited by a set of vendor IP cores mapped to four generations of devices. The results of this investigation suggest that design implementations are generally following the theoretical trends and that the inclusion of embedded hard IP blocks has provided designers with additional performance benefits.
