Abstract

Recent research was mainly focused on the OS support for a single reconfigurable chip. This paper presents a general approach to manage fault tolerant distributed reconfigurable hardware. In order to run such a system, three basic tasks must be implemented: (i) rerouting to compensate line errors, (ii) rebinding to compensate node failures, and (iii) hardware reconfiguration to allow the optimization of these systems during runtime. This paper proposes first ideas and solutions of these management functions. Furthermore, a prototype implementation consisting of four fully connected FPGAs will be presented.
