Abstract

We present a new concept as well as the implementation of an FPGA-based reconfigurable platform, the Erlangen Slot Machine (ESM). The main advantages of this platform are: first, the possibility for each module to access its peripheries independent from its location through a programmable crossbar, and distributed SRAMs among slices. This allows an unrestricted relocation of modules on the device. Second, the intermodule structure allows an unlimited communication among running modules.
