A Programmable System with Quick Reconfiguration

This paper presents a Micro-Sequencer based reconfigurable system. We introduce the concept of Quick Reconfiguration and compare it with existing “full reconfiguration” schemes. In a typical scenario, reconfiguring a system from one application to another does not require a “full” reconfiguration. Instead we can exploit similarities among various applications to save on reconfiguration time. Th...
