    Abstract: To program a first programmable gate array, for example a first FPGA, in a distributed computer system, a configuration of a first configuration logic on the first programmable gate array is provided. The first configuration logic is configured to receive a first user bitstream from a configuration software for configuring a first user logic on the first programmable gate array and to store the first user bitstream on a non-volatile memory of the first programmable gate array for the purpose of subsequently configuring a first user logic on the first programmable gate array according to the specifications from the first user bitstream. In an expansion stage of the invention, a configuration of a programming logic on the first programmable gate array is also provided for programming a second programmable gate array, which is connected to the first programmable gate array to form a daisy chain.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for restructuring a predefined distributed real-time simulation network, wherein the simulation network has a plurality of network nodes and a plurality of data connections, wherein each network node has at least one data connection interface for connecting a data connection, wherein the network nodes are at least partially in communication via the data connections, and wherein during operation of the simulation network a simulation application is executed on at least one network node. The method permits a structure for the real-time simulation network to be automatically found in which the critical communication connections are reduced and avoided as much as possible by determining the topology of the simulation network so that topology information concerning the network nodes and the data connections between the network nodes is available by determining expected values for node data rates or node latencies for the network nodes of the simulation network.

    Abstract: A method for reading variables from a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) at runtime includes: calculating, in the FPGA, a first variable, wherein the first variable is associated with a first shadow register and a second shadow register, and wherein the first variable is associated with a first measurement grid and with a second measurement grid; synchronously storing, at a first point in time, all variables associated with the first measurement grid in shadow registers associated with the respective variables; synchronously storing, at a second point in time, all variables associated with the second measurement grid in shadow registers associated with the respective variables; and reading out the shadow registers independently of one another.
