研究目的
Surveying the field of reconfigurable computing, providing a guide to the body-of-knowledge accumulated in architecture, compute models, tools, run-time reconfiguration, and applications.
研究成果
Reconfigurable computing has become a viable alternative to ASICs and fixed microprocessors in computing systems. With increasing energy and reliability concerns, its importance is expected to grow as technology scales. The field has made significant strides in the capture of applications, C-to-gates compilation, and streaming models and architectures. However, challenges remain in ease-of-use, ease-of-debug, accessibility, and the slow edit-compile-debug cycle.
研究不足
The paper does not conduct new experimental work but rather surveys existing knowledge in the field of reconfigurable computing. As such, it is limited by the scope and depth of the existing literature it reviews.
