Making FPGAs Accessible to Scientists and Engineers as Domain Expert Software Programmers with LabVIEW

In this paper we present a graphical programming framework, LabVIEW, and associated language and libraries, as well as programming techniques and patterns that we have found useful in making FPGAs accessible to scientists and engineers as domain expert software programmers.Comment: Presented at First International Workshop on FPGAs for Software Programmers (FSP 2014) (arXiv:1408.4423
