Field-Programmable Systems are multi-FPGA systems with memory that are typically connected by some form of programmable inter-chip connection mechanism. These are used either as "large FPGAs" to prototype or build larger systems, or as chip emulation systems, such as those from Quickturn , Aptix , and IKOS/Mentor . Our effort at Toronto has been in building and using a series of such systems, collectively known as the Transmogrifiers.
