the most effective integrated development environments (IDEs) from leading manufacturers of programmable logic devices and FPGA platform in particular have been analyzed in this article. The characteristics of development environments based on practical experience, including undocumented ones, are formulated. The SDAccel platform of the Xilinx SDx family, as well as its role in creating the FPGA computing platform as a service was considered. An example of using SDAccel to develop parallel processing based on FPGA is given. The results of comparing the indicators of the simulation speed of a system described using programming and hardware description languages are presented. The advantages of modeling complex systems, especially for testing solutions involving the processing of tens of gigabytes of data and the constraints of creating truncated test sets are discussed.

The detailed research of usage reconfigurable FPGA-based systems in cloud technologies is done. Disadvantages of existing FPGA projects within the cloud infrastructure are discussed. Existing approaches of remote services deployment are being improved along with the development of information technology. Docker containerization approach with Docker Compose tool is applied to deploy FaaS infrastructure. The advantages of proposed FaaS deployment approach and microservice architecture are discussed.

In this paper, we observe the implementation of flexible FPGA-based architectures by using the mechanism of parameterization, then we propose a classification of parameterization of FPGA-based projects by providing them flexibility during the operating mode, also, a common approach to the FPGA-based scalable implementation using multiparameterization technique is offered. Finally, the method of FPGA-based scalable implementation using static parameterization of the number of parallel and sequential structures on different levels of decomposition of the project is suggested and recommendations of proposed methods that provide flexibility of a computer system according to some requirements specification are given.

The techniques for FPGA-based projects parameterization and resource evaluation are proposed. Case study of flexible Reed-Solomon codec architecture with proposed parameterization technique is presented. Dependencies between different Reed-Solomon codec parameters and FPGA resource utilization are analyzed. Different areas of application for proposed RS-codec with flexible architecture is discussed.
