Abstract

Reconfigurable computing systems use reconfigurable processing unit in conjunction with a processor to make us able to execute tasks in a true multitasking manner. This leads to highly dynamic allocation situations. To manage such systems at runtime, a reconfigurable operating system is needed. On-line scheduling and placement algorithms are the main parts of this operating system. In this paper, we present a technique for on-line integrated scheduling and placement which focuses on on-line, real-time and non-preemptive reconfigurable computing systems. The main characteristic of our method includes using a new metric for selecting the best feasible placements for arriving tasks. This new metric is based on temporal and spatial constraints. A large variety of experiments has been conducted on the proposed algorithm using synthetic and real tasks. Obtained results show the benefits of this algorithm.
