In this paper, we address organization and management of threads on a multithreading custom computing machine composed by a General Purpose Processor (GPP) and Reconfigurable Co-Processors. Our proposal to improve overall system performance is twofold. First, we provide architectural mechanisms to accelerate applications by supporting computationally intensive kernels with reconfigurable hardware accelerators. Second, we propose an infrastructure capable to facilitate thread management. The latter can be employed by, e.g., RTOS kernel services. Besides the architectural and microarchitecural extensions of the reconfigurable computing system, we also propose a hierarchical programming model. The model supports balanced and performance efficient SW/ HW co-execution of multithreading applications. Our experimental results based on real applications suggest average system speedups between 1.2 and 19.6 times and based on synthetic benchmarks, the achieved speedups are between 1.3 and 29.8 times compared to software only implementations.
