Intermediate Level Components for Reconfigurable Platforms
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of development productivity on reconfigurable platforms. Due to the availability of generic low level tools and powerful logic synthesis tools, it becomes possible to define portable components that have both a high level behavior and attributes for physical synthesis. The behavior of a component can be fixed at compile time using concise specifications that will reduce the cost and delays in developments. The method allowing to produce components is illustrated with two case studies.

متن کاملA Novel Approach for Multimedia Rendering Platforms
We introduce a novel approach to implement multimedia rendering platforms, using reconfigurable-oriented hardware/software co-design. Disadvantages of current platforms include a very short obsolescence cycle, communication and computational performance limitations, large sizes of software components, and architectures not prepared to cope with future multimedia requirements. To overcome these,...
