Service
FPGA acceleration feasibility review and prototyping
Workload analysis, architecture options, resource estimates, risk review and prototype planning for hardware acceleration projects.
Scope
Deliverables
Scope is defined as reviewable engineering output.
Inputs required
Useful information for an initial review.
- Algorithm or workload description
- Current software or hardware bottleneck
- Target device family or board
- Latency and throughput goals
- Data movement and host-interface assumptions
Limitations
Boundaries that prevent unsupported claims.
- Feasibility results are target-dependent and should be validated against board constraints.
- Benchmark plans are not benchmark results.
Process
Engagement flow
The same review flow applies to public IP support, private prototypes and custom RTL work.
- Intake: workload, target, constraints and NDA requirement.
- Feasibility: architecture options, risks and evidence gaps.
- Implementation: RTL, wrappers, tests and docs where scope is approved.
- Review: simulation, build or measurement evidence before public claims.
Trust
Evidence and licensing references
Current public proof is intentionally limited to what can be inspected.
Public proof style
af-pdm-rx demonstrates the preferred public pattern: portable RTL, tests, docs, board wrappers and explicit evidence gaps.
Licensing boundary
Commercial and proprietary use is handled by direct agreement where applicable.
Next step
Request Acceleration prototyping
Send the workload, target board or FPGA family, timing target, throughput goal, power constraints, interface assumptions and NDA requirement.
