Synthesis of Object Oriented Models on Reconfigurable Hardware

چکیده
In this work the problem of modeling reconfigurable systems behavior with a precise, executable semantics is considered. The possibility of synthesising such models onto reconfigurable technologies is also faced. The modeling problem is tackled with the definition of a formalism based on the possibility of Java to vary its class pool at run-time. Feasibility of the sinthesis approach is verified with the implementation of a reconfigurable component prototype on a Xilinx FPGA, and reconfiguration time and area figures are measured and discussed.

متن کاملLiquid Metal: Object-Oriented Programming Across the Hardware/Software Boundary
The paradigm shift in processor design from monolithic processors to multicore has renewed interest in programming models that facilitate parallelism. While multicores are here today, the future is likely to witness architectures that use reconfigurable fabrics (FPGAs) as coprocessors. FPGAs provide an unmatched ability to tailor their circuitry per application, leading to better performance at...
