摘要
This paper presents design considerations and performance in implementation of Diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) process on a Xilinx Spartan 3 field programmable gate array (FPGA). The DLA cluster algorithm was implemented as a block RAM and two 32-bit Linear Feedback Shift Register random number generators in hardware. The complete design, written in VHDL and synthesized using Xilinx WebPACK 7.2 was downloaded to the Spartan 3 device for speed measurements. A 300% speed improvement compared to a software based implementation of the same algorithm was observed when the design was tested in a XC3S1000 FPGA operated with a 100 MHz clock.
