Week 2 Report

June 7 - 11, 2010 

During Week 2, there was a hold on my assignment because the source code which I needed to debug was missing. After consulting with my advisor, I was temporary reassigned to another project called "Financial Monte Carlo Simulation on Architecturally Diverse Systems." This project is to run a simulation on different architectures. There were three architectures that were used for this project: the CPU of the computer, the GPU and the FPGA. My assignment was to code the FPGA using a Hardware Description Language, the language that I am familiar with is VERILOG . My supervisor said that I should focus on getting the Stage 3 of this project onto the FPGA. Stage 3 of the project consisted of using a given equation to code a matrix multiplication with a vector. Before I started coding, there was a paper I needed read because it described the layout to be used in programming the FPGA to run the matrix multiplication.
