Dynamically Reconfigurable Architecture Design for Ultrasonic Imaging

ReKonf: Dynamically reconfigurable multiCore architecture

Applications differ in their computational requirements. A single application too can have diverse requirements during its different phases. In this thesis, we present ReKonf, a dynamically reconfigurable tile based multicore architecture that detects the program phase change at runtime and morphs itself into different configurations to suit the program phase behavior. We use space and time eff...

DRAAS: Dynamically Reconfigurable Architecture for Autonomic Services

Channel-based Architecture for Dynamically Reconfigurable Networks

Agent technology is often suggested as a tool for developing software that is more adaptive in the face of changes in its environment. In agent-based approaches, complex automated systems are built from components that communicate with each other. To enable adaptive behaviour, both the components themselves and the communication architecture should be easily changeable. This paper presents the ...

Design Environment for Dynamically Reconfigurable Embedded Systems

Modern high-performance embedded systems, such as Automatic Target Recognition for Missiles or Dynamic Protocols Mobile Communications devices, face many challenges. Power and volume constraints limit hardware size. Accurate, high-performance algorithms involve massive computations. Systems must respond to demanding real-time specifications. In the past, custom application-specific architecture...

IP Design for Dynamically Reconfigurable SoCs

Reconfigurable computing is a relatively new paradigm. While there is a growing number of new reconfigurable architectures there is a lack of design tools to map applications onto these architectures. The design tools must exploit the benefits of reconfiguration in order to deploy such architectures successfully. In this paper we present some fundamental ideas on how to take advantage of reconf...
