Abstract:
A computing platform includes an array of interconnected field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), memory, and external input/output interfaces. The platform is in the form of a blade conforming to the Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) standard. The platform is especially useful for telecommunications and networking applications.

Abstract:
A design environment for FPGA applications enables configuration of an FPGA platform to include a user design and one or more interface units, which the user design can use to access one or more external modules/devices without needing any particular knowledge of the structure and operation of such modules/devices. The interface unit corresponding to an external device/module, under the control of an operating environment, can establish a communication between the user design and the external module/device. An external processing module can use an interface unit to monitor and/or control a user design.
