HARDWARE PLATFORMS

This chapter is devoted to the hardware platforms available to implement the algorithms described in the preceding chapters. In the first section, some generalities in electronic system design are presented. The hardware platforms are then classified as instruction-set processor, ASIC based, and reconfigurable hardware. Special emphasis is given to FPGA technologies.
