CPRring: A Structure-Aware Ring-Based Checkpointing Architecture for FPGA Computing

In this paper, we present a new architecture forFPGA checkpointing along with an efficient mechanism. Wethen provide a static analysis of original HDL source code toreduce the cost of hardware for checkpointing functionality. Ourevaluations show that with the proposals, checkpointing hardwarecauses small degradation in maximum clock frequency (less than10%). The LUT overhead varies from 14.4% (Dijkstra) to 103.84%(Matrix Multiplication).
