A Hardware Virtual Machine for the Networked Reconfiguration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Networked reconfiguration is an enabling technology for cost effective service deployment and maintenance. A hardware virtual machine to enable this networked reconfiguration is presented. An abstract FPGA model is the core of such a hardware virtual machine. Based on this abstract FPGA model, the traditional implementation flow of FPGA has been separated into two parts: the service provider’s side and client’s side. We show how to split the FPGA design flow to enable this networked reconfiguration and present first results in the efficiency of the bytefiles for a hardware virtual machine.

A Scalable Architecture to Support Networked Reconfiguration
This paper presents a proposed scalable architecture to enable networked reconfiguration for the next generation communication terminals. A new system architecture that supports networked reconfiguration is defined. It contains two new blocks the virtual reconfigurable architecture (VRA) and the application specific resource manager (ASRM). VRA can be considered as a hardware virtual machine, a...

This paper presents the design procedure and implementation results of a proposed hardware which performs different satellite Image compressions using FPGA Xilinx board. First, the method is described and then VHDL code is written and synthesized by ISE software of Xilinx Company. The results show that it is easy and useful to design, develop and implement the hardware image compressor using ne...
متن کاملPolluted Self Reconfiguration In The Cyberera
The advent of cybertechnologies has led to radical paradigm shifts in our social, economic, cultural, and psychological conceptualizations. The paper investigates the advent of cyborgs, indeed our transformation into cyborgs, and the impact of this transformation upon identities and face management, which has an important social value since the late modernism. Cyborg is a designation for the in...
متن کاملHybrid Simulation in Harness
HARNESS is an experimental, Java-centric metacomputing system based upon the principles of dynamically reconfigurable, object oriented, networked computing frameworks. The reconfiguration capabilities of HARNESS are not limited to the computers and networks enrolled in the virtual machine but also extend to the actual capabilities of the computational resources themselves. These reconfiguration...
متن کاملFinite State Machine Based Reconfigurable Architecture For Image Processor
Adaptively evolvable systems require some reconfigurable capabilities, habituated within the FPGA. FPGA’s can be integrated with either Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration (DPR) or Virtual Reconfiguration Circuits (VRC). Since DPR allows lesser resource utilization on the FPGA available logic, which has a positive repercussion in power consumption compared to VRC’s, we are using FPGA’s with native ...
