Reconfigurable Computer Systems Based on Virtex-6 and Virtex-7 FPGAs

In the paper we consider computational modules Saiph and Rigel designed on the base of Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGAs and a computational module 24V7-750 based on Xilinx Virtex-7 FPGAs which is now in the design phase. The computational modules are intended for creation of reconfigurable computer systems (RCS) of various configurations. We compare technical characteristics of the considered CMs and describe a software suit for RCS programming, based on a high-level programming language. Use of this language provides simplicity of programming and helps to reduce the time of development of applications for tasks from various problem domains.
