Popis:	ATLANTIS is the result of 8 years of experience with large stand alone and smaller PCI based FPGA processors. Dedicated FPGA boards for computing and I/O plus a private backplane for a data rate of up to 1 GB/s sup port flexibility and scalability. FPGAs with more than 100k gates and 400 I/O pins per chip are used. CompactPCI provides the basic communication mecha nism. Current real-time applications include pattern recognition tasks in high energy physics, 2D image processing, volume rendering, and n-body calculations in astronomy. First measurements and estimations show an acceleration up to a factor of 25 compared to a PC workstation, or commercial volume render ing hardware, respectively. Our CHDL, an object-oriented development environment is used for application programming.
