چکیده

Due to its potential to greatly accelerate a wide variety of applications, reconfigurable computing has become a subject of a great deal of research. Its key feature is the ability to perform computations in hardware to increase performance, while retaining much of the flexibility of a software solution. In this introduction to reconfigurable computing, we give an overview of the hardware architectures of reconfigurable computing machines, and the software that targets these machines, such as compilation tools. Finally, we consider the issues involved in run-time reconfigurable systems, which re-use the configurable hardware during program execution.

Implementation of VlSI Based Image Compression Approach on Reconfigurable Computing System - A Survey

Image data require huge amounts of disk space and large bandwidths for transmission. Hence, imagecompression is necessary to reduce the amount of data required to represent a digital image. Thereforean efficient technique for image compression is highly pushed to demand. Although, lots of compressiontechniques are available, but the technique which is faster, memory efficient and simple, surely...

Introduction to the Configware Minitrack From glue logic synthesis to reconfigurable computing systems

While reconfigurable computing was rather unknown several years ago, more recent projects have been established dealing with new directions of this topic. In fact, for particular application areas reconfigurable hardware has already proven to achieve a performance, which is superior to that of conventional processor solutions. Application development proceeds in moving out of its logic-design-o...

Accelerating a Software Radio Astronomy Correlator using FPGA co-processors

Introduction This poster presents and characterises our work on accelerating a software radio astronomy correlator using reconfigurable computing (RC) hardware. Radio astronomy correlation is an embarrassingly parallel signal processing application, which is used heavily in radio astronomy for imaging and other astronomical measurements. Radio astronomy correlators typically operate on huge dat...
