A Java Development and Runtime Environment for Reconfigurable Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fast runtime reconfigurable hardware enables system designers to swap hardware into and out of an FPGA much as the pages of virtual memory are swapped into and out of virtual memory. Java provides a powerful object-oriented language with constructs to support multiple threads. In this paper, we discuss a method for developing reconfigurable hardware object class libraries, a runtime environment to manage these hardware objects and techniques for controlling such designs from the Java programming language.

ACEcard: A High-Performance Architecture for Run-Time Reconfiguration
Recent FPGA architectures have shown an increased emphasis on run-time reconfiguration, or the ability to rapidly change the functionality of the FPGA to sequentially accommodate large processing tasks. In addition, partial reconfiguration allows for the reconfiguration of a portion of the FPGA while the remainder is running. These two features enable the use of reconfigurable computing in high...
متن کاملA Java Virtual Machine for Runtime Reconfigurable Computing
Reconfigurable Computing (RC) is a technology that makes use of programmable logic (FPGAs) in conjunction with a traditional microprocessor to accelerate generalpurpose computations. RC machines have demonstrated impressive speedup on a variety of applications. Unfortunately, they are often difficult to program. This paper presents an experimental new RC platform, the RTR-JVM, which executes or...

Image data require huge amounts of disk space and large bandwidths for transmission. Hence, imagecompression is necessary to reduce the amount of data required to represent a digital image. Thereforean efficient technique for image compression is highly pushed to demand. Although, lots of compressiontechniques are available, but the technique which is faster, memory efficient and simple, surely...
متن کاملRuntime Environment for Dynamically Reconfigurable Embedded Sy
A runtime environment has been developed to enable the seamless integration of different hardware and software implementation technologies (DSP’s, FPGA’s, ASIC’s). The runtime environment is responsible for the management of dynamic system reconfiguration, including software reconfiguration for the parallel DSP’s and hardware reconfiguration for the FPGA’s in the system. This paper describes th...
متن کاملDevelopment Environment for Dynamically Reconfigurable Embedded Systems
Reconfigurable computing is gaining wide acceptance as an enabling technology for many high-performance computing applications. Design and synthesis of dynamically reconfigurable systems however, pose a unique challenge to the design engineering process. A modelintegrated approach is proposed for design and synthesis of such systems. The modelintegrated approach defines a graphical design envir...
