چکیده
This paper introduces a new project named Context Switching Reconfigurable Hardware for Communication Systems (COSRECOS) which was started autumn 2009. In this project, reconfigurable hardware technology (Field Programmable Gate Arrays FPGAs) will be applied for designing high performance computing systems for embedded communication systems. The overall goal of the project is to contribute in making run-time reconfigurable systems more feasible in general. This includes introducing architectures for reducing reconfiguration time as well as undertaking tool development. Case studies by applications in network and communication systems will be a part of the project. The paper describes how we plan to address the challenge of changing hardware configurations while a system is in operation.

متن کاملCompiler and Run Time Support to Accelerate Java Applications on a Run Time Reconfigurable System
Reconfigurable Computing (RC) is a technology that makes use of programmable logic (FPGAs) in conjunction with a traditional microprocessor to accelerate generalpurpose applications. Although the hardware resources in current FPGA devices are rapidly growing, a full-sized application will completely overwhelm even the largest available device. Consequently, only a portion of the application can...
متن کاملDynamic Scheduling and Resource Management in Heterogeneous Computing Environments with Reconfigurable Hardware
Dynamically reconfigurable hardware resources within complex heterogeneous computing environments show tremendous potential for an improvement in system performance, a reduction in the necessary number of processing resources, an increase in system degradability in the presence of faults, and an expansion of system flexibility, field upgradeability, and system lifecycles. However, efficient man...
متن کاملHardware spiking neural network with run-time reconfigurable connectivity in
A cellular hardware implementation of a spiking neural network with run-time reconfigurable connectivity is presented. It is implemented on a compact custom FPGA board which provides a powerful reconfigurable hardware platform for hardware and software design. Complementing the system, a CPU synthesized on the FPGA takes care of interfacing the network with the external world. The FPGA board an...
متن کاملRelocatable Hardware Threads in Run-Time Reconfigurable Systems
Run-time reconfiguration provides an opportunity to increase performance, reduce cost and improve energy efficiency in FPGA-based systems. However, run-time reconfigurable systems are more complex to implement than static only systems. This increases time to market, and introduces run-time overhead into the system. Our research aims to raise the abstraction level to develop run-time reconfigura...
