High-Performance and Energy-Efficient Fault Tolerance FPGA-to-FPGA Communication

Abstract These days, due to the increasing demand for high speed and parallel computation, several real world applications and systems include multiple FPGAs in them. Due to this, FPGAs often need to communicate among them. So, communication between the FPGAs is one of the key factors that determines the accuracy, performance and correctness of the entire multiple FPGAs systems or applications. This paper presents the design of an efficient multi-bit fault tolerant communication system for FPGA-to-FPGA communication. The proposed design is synthesized and also simulated through Vivado design suit 2018.3 and was communicated with two Kintex-7 FPGA boards. When compared with the existing FPGA-to-FPGA communication and inter FPGA communication designs, the proposed design have higher performance, error detection and correction capability.
