Intermediate Level Components for Reconfigurable Platforms

摘要

Development productivity is a central point for the acceptance of reconfigurable platforms. Due to the availability of generic low level tools and powerful logic synthesis tools, it becomes possible to define portable components that have both a high level behavior and attributes for physical synthesis. The behavior of a component can be fixed at compile time using concise specifications that will reduce the cost and delays in developments. The method allowing to produce components is illustrated with two case studies.
