VHDL for scientific computing

Question

I was wondering if folks use VHDL/FPGAs in scientific computing.

An example scenario that I was thinking off was say:

1. Construct an arbitrary precision floating point adder
2. Configure an FPGA board to then add such numbers

So I was looking for references (example code) where VHDL/FPGAs have been used in scientific computing.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There are several vendors who build heterogeneous computing systems using FPGAs. I doubt you'll find complete source code for such systems.

SRC Computing

Convey Computer

Mitrionics. A reseller of other systems.

Novo-G. An academic project.
