A Dynamically Adaptive Switching Fabric on a Multicontext Reconfigurable Device

Reducing the Configuration Loading Time of a Coarse Grain Multicontext Reconfigurable Device

High speed and low cost configuration loading methods for a coarse grain multicontext reconfigurable device DRP(Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor) are proposed and implemented. In these methods, the configuration data is compressed on the host computer before loading, and decoded at the time of loading by circuits implemented on a part of logics. Unlike conventional reconfigurable device, th...

Dynamically Reconfigurable Optical Buffer and Multicast-enabled Switch Fabric for Optical Packet Switching

The Dram-based Reconfigurable Acceleration Fabric (draf) Uses Commodity Dram Technology to Implement a Bit-level, Reconfigurable Fabric That Improves Area Density by 10 times and Power Consumption by More Than

......The end of Dennard scaling has made it imperative to turn toward applicationand domain-specific acceleration as an energy-efficient way to improve performance. Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have become a prominent acceleration platform as they achieve a good balance between flexibility and efficiency. FPGAs have enabled accelerator designs for numerous domains, including datacent...

VHDL Modeling of Fast Dynamic Reconfiguration on Novel Multicontext RAM-based Field Programmable Devices

We describe in this paper how VHDL greatly helps in modeling the dynamic reconfiguration of a novel Field Programmable Device (FPD) and the applications especially suitable for it. This dynamic reconfiguration methodology is based on multicontext operation, that is, having several copies of the configuration memory controlling the programmable features of the device. Configuration dynamic manag...

HW/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...
