Intelligent Reconfigurable Computing Systems

Intelligent Systems Engineering with Reconfigurable Computing

Intelligent computing systems comprising microprocessor cores, memory and reconfigurable user-programmable logic represent a promising technology which is well-suited for applications such as digital signal and image processing, cryptography and encryption, etc. These applications employ frequently recursive algorithms which are particularly appropriate when the underlying problem is defined in...

Reconfigurable intelligent optical backplane for parallel computing and communications.

A reconfigurable intelligent optical backplane architecture for parallel computing and communications is described. The backplane consists of a large number of reconfigurable optical channels organized in a ring with relatively simple point-to-point optical interconnections between neighboring smart-pixel arrays. The intelligent backplane can implement (l) dynamically reconfigurable connections...

Fast Template Placement for Reconfigurable Computing Systems

Portable Library Development for Reconfigurable Computing Systems

As Reconfigurable Computing (RC) systems become more common place among application scientists and developers, a mechanism for porting existing work to other platforms is increasingly desirable. The constantly changing technologies and architectures in today’s RC platforms present a challenge to any developer wishing to move from an early development system to a newer system. Many new RC system...

Placement and Defragmentation in Reconfigurable Computing Systems

This paper begins with a short discussion of the basic concepts of reconfigurable computing. Configuration is the process of programming a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) device for implementing a certain logic function. Configuration can be either static or dynamic. In static configuration the FPGA device retains its configuration state till the task is completed. In dynamic configuration...
