A New Technique to Calculate Dipolar Energy and Its Implementation onto an Application Specific Processor

摘要

In this paper we present a new technique which allows an efficient implementation of the energy evaluation,in a Monte-carlo-Metropolis simulation,onto an application specific processor,exploiting FPGA technology and purposely designed to accelerate floating point operations.The technique has been implemented and simulated using a proper software development environment designed and realised in our laboratory,while expecting the furnishing of a FPGA Stratix based board from Altera.Results compared with those obtained on last generation workstations show a good acceleration in the processing.
