Design and implementation of FPGA verification platform for a programmable vertex processing unit

To process the functional verification and performance evaluation for a programmable vertex processing unit which was designed for mobile devices,a SoPC-based FPGA verification platform was proposed.A number of vertex processing unit programs on the platform had been run using software/hardware co-verification methods.The experimental results show that the verification platform can effectively verify the functions of the vertex processing unit and is suitable for verifying the other modules of the 3D graphics accelerator.
