Reconfigurable computing architectures aim to dynamically adapt their hardware to the application at hand. As research shows, the time it takes to reconfigure the hardware forms an overhead that can significantly impair the benefits of hardware customization. Multi-context devices are one promising approach to overcome the limitations posed by long reconfiguration times. In contrast to more tra...

ÐSeveral dynamic programming algorithms are considered which can be efficiently implemented using parallel networks with reconfigurable buses. The bit model of general reconfigurable meshes with directed links, common write, and unit-time delay for broadcasting is assumed. Given two sequences of length m and n, respectively, their longest common subsequence can be found in constant time by an O...

Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMSs) offer a key technology for the realization of mass customization. Compared with integral systems, RMS may provide system configurations to satisfy a wide range of Functional Requirements (FRs). An important issue for RMS is configuration design, the determination of a configuration from all of feasible configurations to meet FRs. Configuration design ...

Reconfigurable systems can attain different configurations at different times thereby altering their functional abilities. Such systems are particularly suitable for specific classes of applications in which their ability to undergo changes easily can be exploited to fulfill new demands, allow for evolution, and improve survivability. This paper identifies the main factors that drive the need f...

in this research optimal reconfiguration strategy of the improved srr reconfigurable mobile robot based on force-angle stability measure has been designed using genetic algorithm. path tracking nonlinear controller which keeps robot’s maximum stability has been designed and simulated in matlab. motion equations of the robot have been derived in parametric form by means of newton- euler, lagrang...

Reconfigurable architectures can bridge the gap between programmable solutions (processors, DSPs) and highly optimised ASICs if they are structured in an application-specific way. Two of the main disadvantages of reconfigurable logic are its low functional density, caused by the area overhead introduced by configuration logic and memory, but also reduced clock frequencies, caused by extended si...

In the era of Internet of Things, the battery life of edge devices must be extended for sensing connection to the Internet. We aim to reduce the power consumption of the microprocessor embedded in such devices by using a novel dynamically reconfigurable accelerator. Conventional microprocessors consume a large amount of power for memory access, in registers, and for the control of the processor...

Embedded CPUs typically use much less power than desktop or server CPUs but provide limited or no support for floating-point arithmetic. Hybrid reconfigurable CPUs combine fixed and reconfigurable computing fabrics to balance better execution performance and power consumption. We show how a Stretch S6 hybrid reconfigurable CPU (S6) can be extended to natively support double precision floating-p...
