|
|
FPGA_MaxPars_Gen is part of a package called FPGA_MaxPars that provides an
|
12 |
|
|
open-source VHDL implementation of a reconfigurable architecture for the
|
13 |
|
|
phylogenetic parsimony kernel.
|
14 |
|
|
The software tool FPGA_MaxPars_Gen allows for easy expansion of the size of the architecture in terms of parallel processing
|
15 |
|
|
units.
|
16 |
|
|
Furthermore, it can also generate a population counter with user-defined size and latency in VHDL.
