Abstract

One of the latest missions in custom computing is to exploit partial reconfiguration to accelerate the achievable performance for FPGAs for Custom Computing Machines. In this paper, we present a methodology for applying partial reconfiguration for general purpose programming. Fast runtime reconfiguration is achieved through the concepts of Configuration Data Graphs and Reconfiguration State Graphs. A simple implementation of this system using the VCC HOTworks board is also presented.
