Resumen:
Nowadays, Field Programmable Gate Arrays
(FPGAs) are used in very diverse applications. Modern FPGA
devices offer high capacity to implement digital design with a
wide range of specific resources. Typically, FPGA vendors
categorize theirs devices in families suitable for: (1) high
performance applications or (2) low-cost designs. On the other
hand, FPGA manufacturers offer different design tools with
diverse configuration options to get the most of the available
FPGA resources for each design implemented. Usually, designers
adopt for new projects the same criteria, devices and tools used
in previous projects since it is time consuming to evaluate
alternatives from others FPGA manufacturers.
In this paper, we present an automated design platform used
to evaluate different alternatives to implement FPGA designs.
Evaluation involved technical as well as economic criteria that
may help
