Original Abstract

Even though amount of memory integrated on the FPGA chip grows, it is sufficient for rather low demanding applications only. Even smaller members of low-cost FPGA family, Spartan 6, have enough logical resources to perform relatively complex functionality, but memory is often the limiting factor. The only solution is to use external memories. From the reliability point of view the external memory introduces to the system new risks in the form of potential hardware malfunction, soft errors in external memory and necessary architectural changes. This paper evaluates additional risks, costs and gains specific for external memories.
