Abstract

In this paper, we propose a methodology for automatedmapping of a design onto a partially reconfigurable device.We generate partial bitstream files from behavioral descriptionof the task, that are used to reconfigure the device dynamically.The novelty of this research lies in the applicationof a Macro Based Synthesis approach that allowselimination of both logic synthesis and technology mappingphases from the synthesis flow. Our methodology provides asignificant reduction in compilation time compared to commercialtools.
