Abstract

Dynamically reconfigurable systems have the potential of realising efficient systems as well as providing adaptability to changing system requirements. Such systems are suitable for future mobile multimedia systems that have limited battery resources, must handle diverse data types, and must operate in dynamic application and communication environments. We propose an approach in which reconfiguration is applied dynamically at various levels of a mobile system, whereas traditionally, reconfigurable systems mainly focus at the gate level only. The research performed in the CHAMELEON project 1 aims at designing such a heterogeneous reconfigurable mobile system. The two main motivations for the system are 1) to have an energy-efficient system, while 2) achieving an adequate Quality of Service for applications.
