In this note we describe Ianus, a new generation FPGA based machine and its basic features: hardware integration and wide reprogrammability. Our goal is to build a machine that can fully exploit the performance potential of new generation FPGA devices. We also plan a software platform which simplifies its programming, in order to extend its intended range of application to a wide class of interesting and computationally demanding problems. The decision to develop a dedicated processor is a complex one, involving careful assessment of its performance lead, during its expected lifetime, over traditional computers, taking into account their performance increase, as predicted by Moore’s law. We discuss this point in detail.engjournal articlehttp://doi.org/10.1109/MCSE.2006.9http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0507270v1open access5351-73Special-puropose computerMonte-Carlo simulationParallel processorSpinSystemApe.Física (Física)Física-Modelos matemáticos22 Física
