Linear Placement for Static / Dynamic Reconfiguration in JBits
نویسندگان
چکیده
Placement of functional units on an FPGA fabric is a challenging problem for runtime reconfigurable computing systems. We introduce the concept of physical contexts to greatly reduce the complexity of the placement and routing problems. We have implemented static and dynamic linear placement methods for expression trees placed in physical contexts. Our placement algorithms are implemented in the JBits environment, creating a layer of a hardware operating system for future reconfigurable computing systems.

Routing flexibility improves as FPGAs increase in size and density. While advantageous for applications, the routing resource software model requires significant hard disk and memory resources. As a result, run-time routers tend to devise alternate solutions to the flat graph model used by FPGA tools in order to accomodate the limited memory available in run-time systems. JBits, a run-time reco...
