title = "The successive over-relaxation method in reconfigurable hardware",
abstract = "This paper presents the first hardware implementation of the Successive Over-Relaxation (SOR) method for the solution of a 2D Poisson equation. We use Handel-C, a high level language for the implementation of algorithms on hardware, to code and implement our design which we map onto high-performance Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), such as, Virtex II Pro, Altera Stratix, and Spartan3L. We use the FPGA vendors' proprietary software to analyze the design implementation performance. Besides, we implement SOR using C++ and compare our timing results with the obtained C++ version results. Our findings prove that SOR in hardware outperforms SOR in software.",
