Online codesign on reconfigurable platform for parallel computing

چکیده
Reconfigurable hardware offers new ways of accelerating computing by implementing hardware accelerators at run time. In this article, we present an approach allowing a hardware/software codesign of applications in which implementation can be chosen at run time depending on available resources. We propose a platform supporting this flow and describe its different implementations used to prove the feasibility of our approach. This platform allows the underlying hardware to be virtualized in order to have a generic architecture that can be used to run applications. Partial dynamic reconfiguration is used over Xilinx Virtex 5 boards to enhance reconfiguration capabilities.

متن کاملHW/SW codesign techniques for dynamically reconfigurable architectures
Hardward/software (HW/SW) codesign and reconfigurable computing are commonly used methodologies for digitalsystems design. However, no previous work has been carried out in order to define a HW/SW codesign methodology with dynamic scheduling for run-time reconfigurable architectures. In addition, all previous approaches to reconfigurable computing multicontext scheduling are based on static-sch...
