The current paper reports on the first results of building a retargetable compiler for reconfigurable computing. The discussed research is part of a larger project whose main objective is to develop a semi-automatic tool platform for reconfigurable computing supporting a fully integrated design environment. It constitutes the first attempt to provide a workbench that will cover the entire desig...

Heterogeneous reconfigurable systems provide drastically higher performance and lower power consumption than traditional CPU-centric systems. Moreover, they do it at much lower costs and shorter times to market than non-reconfigurable hardware solutions. They also provide the flexibility that is often required for the engineering of modern robust and adaptive systems. Due to their heterogeneity...

In recent years, dynamic reconfigurable processor which can achieve reconfiguration with a few cycles is proposed. The fast reconfiguration makes run-time reconfiguration possible, and the run-time reconfiguration gives a new possibility to the dynamic reconfigurable processor, i.e. the dynamic reconfigurable processor can also execute partitioned independent subtasks with repeated reconfigurat...

Today the most commonly used system architectures in data processing can be divided into three categories: general purpose processors, application specific architectures and reconfigurable architectures. General purpose processors are flexible, but inefficient and for some applications do not offer enough performance. Application specific architectures are efficient and give good performance, b...
