Effective reconfigurable design: the faster approachEffective reconfigurable design: the faster approach Πλήρης Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Full Paper 2015-11-122014enWhile fine-grain, reconfigurable devices have been available for years, they are mostly used in a fixed functionality, “asic-replacement” manner. To exploit opportunities for flexible and adaptable run-time exploitation of fine grain reconfigurable resources (as implemented currently in dynamic, partial reconfiguration), better tool support is needed. The FASTER project aims to provide a methodology and a tool-chain that will enable designers to efficiently implement a reconfigurable system on a platform combining software and reconfigurable resources. Starting from a high-level application description and a target platform, our tools analyse the application, evaluate reconfiguration options, and implement the designer choices on underlying vendor tools. In addition, FASTER addresses micro-reconfiguration, verification, and the run-time management of system resources. We use industrial applications to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework and identify new opportunities for reconfigurable technologies.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/International Symposium on Applied Reconfigurable Computing Pnevmatikatos Dionysios Πνευματικατος Διονυσιος Becker Tobias Brokalakis Andreas Μπροκαλακης Ανδρεας Nedeltchev Gaydadjiev Georgi Luk Wayne Papadimitriou Kyprianos Παπαδημητριου Κυπριανος Papaefstathiou Ioannis Παπαευσταθιου Ιωαννης Pau Danilo Pell Oliver Pilato Christian Santambrogio Marco D.
