A new technique to calculate dipolar energy and its implementation onto an application specific processor

In this paper we present a new technique which allows an efficient implementation of the energy evaluation, in a Montecarlo- Metropolis simulation, onto an application specific processor, exploiting FPGA technology and purposely designed to accelerate floating point operations. The technique has been implemented and simulated using a proper software development environment designed and realised in our laboratory, while expecting the furnishing of a FPGA Stratix based board from Altera. Results compared with those obtained on last generation workstations show a good acceleration in the processing.
