This paper begins with a short discussion of the basic concepts of reconfigurable computing. Configuration is the process of programming a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) device for implementing a certain logic function. Configuration can be either static or dynamic. In static configuration the FPGA device retains its configuration state till the task is completed. In dynamic configuration...

We have proposed a new reconfigurable parallel image processing system in which three-dimensional (3D) LSI is used. A new dynamical multi-context reconfiguration scheme is employed in this system. This scheme can decrease the number of instructions between a reconfigurable processing element array and control RISC processor, and also enable efficient execution of various image processing functi...

One of the key contributions of this paper is the idea of treating the two-dimensional FPGA area as a one-dimensional array of custom instructions, which the paper refers to as linear hardware space. Each custom instruction occupies the full width of the array but can occupy different heights to allow for instructions of varying complexity. Instructions also have a common interface that include...

AbstructOuter solar system exploration and missions to comets and planets with severe environmental conditions require long-term survivability of space systems. This challenge has recently been approached with new ideas, such as using mechanisms for hardware adaptation inspired from biology. The application f evolution-inspired formalisms to hardware design and self-configuration lead to the ...

The aim of this paper is to optimize the system after restoring and reconfigure the faulted area in a distribution network after isolating the faulted block. Restoration involves changing the switch status to maximize the supply to loads that are left unsupplied after fault removal. After system optimization using reconfiguration, Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is used in order to control...

Genetic programming can be used to identify complex patterns in financial markets which may lead to more advanced trading strategies. However, the computationally intensive nature of genetic programming makes it difficult to apply to real world problems, particularly in realtime constrained scenarios. In this work we propose the use of Field Programmable Gate Array technology to accelerate the ...

the advent of cybertechnologies has led to radical paradigm shifts in our social, economic, cultural, and psychological conceptualizations. the paper investigates the advent of cyborgs, indeed our transformation into cyborgs, and the impact of this transformation upon identities and face management, which has an important social value since the late modernism. cyborg is a designation for the in...

Abstract This paper introduces a novel reconfiguration technique, called Knight's tour to extract maximum power from photovoltaic (PV) arrays in partial shading conditions. The reconfigures the PV based on movements chessboard. proposed procedure achieves values by spreading shadows all rows. can be applied variety of different dimensions and sizes. Accordingly, is four cases square rectangular...

Reconfigurable photovoltaic (PV) systems are of great interest with respect to system designers in order to improve the system’s efficiency and operation. This paper proposes an adaptive reconfiguration scheme to reduce the effect of shadows on solar panels. A method to capture the maximum power point of the photovoltaic (PV) array systemwith the help of DC/DC central converter system is presen...
