| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we propose an FPGA computational model for problems that require many off-chip memory accesses. In this model, (1) many threads are processed in parallel on the FPGA, (2) memory access from each thread is grouped dynamically according to its target memory bank number, (3) the memory interface achieves the maximum throughput by accessing the banks in turn, and (4) the fetched data are sent back to the thread that issued the request. We examined the effectiveness of this model through the evaluation of several real applications.
