A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) can be programmed to implement virtually any digital circuit. This programmability provides companies with the ability to implement large, complex circuits without requiring access to an expensive state-of-the-art chip manufacturing plant, an expense that is out-of-reach for most small and medium-sized electronics companies. The goal of this project is to improve FPGAs by enhancing both their internal structure (architecture) as well as the associated Computer-Aided Design algorithms.  In particular, this project will investigate ways to improve FPGAs so that they are more energy-efficient, making them suitable for battery-powered hand-held applications.

现场可编程门阵列（FPGA）可以编程来实现几乎任何数字电路。这种可编程性为公司提供了实现大型复杂电路的能力，而无需访问昂贵的最先进的芯片制造工厂，这是大多数中小型电子公司无法承受的费用。本项目的目标是通过增强FPGA的内部结构（架构）以及相关的计算机辅助设计算法来改进FPGA。特别是，本项目将研究如何改进FPGA，使其更节能，使其适用于电池供电的手持应用。
