However, reconfiguring the hardware at run-time incurs a configuration delay causing performance degradation of the application. This paper evaluates a preloading model that hides the configuration overhead. An existing preloading model is augmented according to the physical constraints of the system. A reduction of 6% up to 86% in execution time has been obtained with the new model.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/901-904IEEE International Conference on Field Programmable Logic and Aplications Papadimitriou Kyprianos Παπαδημητριου Κυπριανος Dollas Apostolos Δολλας Αποστολος Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Automatic computers Automatic data processors Computer hardware Computing machines (Computers) Electronic brains Electronic calculating-machines Electronic computers Hardware, Computer computers automatic computers automatic data processors computer hardware computing machines computers electronic brains electronic calculating machines electronic computers hardware computer
