text: In contrast to processors, current reconfigurable devices totally lack programming
models that would allow for device independent compilation and forward compatibility.
The key to overcome this limitation is hardware virtualization. In this paper,
we resort to a macro-pipelined execution model to achieve hardware virtualization
for data streaming applications. As a hardware implementation we present a hybrid
multi-context architecture that attaches a coarse-grained reconfigurable array
to a host CPU. A co-simulation framework enables cycle-accurate simulation of
the complete architecture. As a case study we map an FIR filter to our virtualized
hardware model and evaluate different designs. We discuss the impact of the number
of contexts and the feature of context state on the speedup and the CPU load.

text: Reconfigurable computing architectures aim to dynamically adapt their hardware
to the application at hand. As research shows, the time it takes to reconfigure
the hardware forms an overhead that can significantly impair the benefits of hardware
customization. Multi-context devices are one promising approach to overcome the
limitations posed by long reconfiguration times. In contrast to more traditional
reconfigurable architectures, multi-context devices hold several configurations
on-chip. On demand, the device can quickly switch to another context. In this
paper we present a co-simulation environment to investigate design trade-offs
for hybrid multi-context architectures. Our architectural model comprises a reconfigurable
unit closely coupled to a CPU core. As a case study, we discuss the implementation
of a FIR filter partitioned into several contexts. We outline the mapping process
and present simulation results for single- and multi-context reconfigurable units
coupled with both embedded and high-end CPUs.

text: 'Wearable computers are embedded into the mobile environment of the human
body. A design challenge for wearable systems is to combine the high performance
required for tasks such as video decoding with low energy consumption required
to maximize battery runtimes and the flexibility demanded by the dynamics of the
environment and the applications. In this paper, we demonstrate that reconfigurable
hardware technology is able to answer this challenge. We present the concept and
the prototype implementation of an autonomous wearable unit with reconfigurable
modules (WURM). We discuss two experiments that show the uses of reconfigurable
hardware in WURM: ASICs-on-demand and adaptive interfaces. Finally, we develop
and evaluate task placement techniques used in the operating system layer of WURM.'

text: ' Recent generations of high-density and high-speed FPGAs provide a sufficient
capacity for implementing complete configurable systems on a chip (CSoCs). Hybrid
CPUs that combine standard CPU cores with reconfigurable coprocessors are an important
subclass of CSoCs. With partially reconfigurable FPGAs, coprocessors can be loaded
on demand while the CPU remains running. However, the lack of high-level design
tools for partial reconfiguration makes practical implementations a challenging
task. In this paper, we introduce a design flow to implement hybrid processors
on Xilinx Virtex. The design flow is based on two techniques, virtual sockets
and feed-through components, and can efficiently generate partial configurations
from industry-quality cores. We discuss the design flow and present a fully operational
audio streaming prototype to demonstrate its feasibility. '

text: In this report the design and implementation of an instance-specific accelerator
for solving minimum covering problems will be presented. After an introduction
to configurable computing in general, the minimum covering problem is defined
and a branch and bound algorithm to solve it in software is presented. The remainder
of the report shows how this branch and bound algorithm can be adopted to hardware.
Specifically it is stressed how the various sophisticated strategies for deducing
conditions for variables used by software solvers can be adopted to hardware and
how a system which uses 3-valued logic to solve this problem can be designed.
In addition to these considerations focusing on the architecture of the system,
some important details of the actual implementation are given. A prototype has
been implemented for showing the feasibility of the concept and for gaining information
about speed and size of the hardware implementation. Cycle-accurate simulations
for a set of benchmark problems have been done for determining the performance
of the accelerator. The speed of the resulting accelerators has been compared
to the time a reference software solver (espresso) needs and the resulting speedups
have been calculated. I have shown that a raw speedup of several orders of maginitude
can be achieved for many problems; for some problems no speedup is achieved yet.
After a discussion of the results, ideas for future work are presented.

text: In this paper, we present the analysis of applications from the domain of
handheld and wearable computing. This analysis is the first step to derive and
evaluate design parameters for dynamically reconfigurable processors. We discuss
the selection of representative benchmarks for handhelds and wearables and group
the applications into multimedia, communications, and cryptography programs. We
simulate the applications on a cycle-accurate processor simulator and gather statistical
data such as instruction mix, cache hit rates and memory requirements for an embedded
processor model. A breakdown of the executed cycles into different functions identifies
the most compute-intensive code sections - the kernels. Then, we analyze the applications
and discuss parameters that strongly influence the design of dynamically reconfigurable
processors. Finally, we outline the construction of a parameterizable simulation
model for a reconfigurable unit that is attached to a processor core.
