On-Demand FPGA Run-Time System for Dynamical Reconfiguration with Adaptive Priorities

摘要

Microcontrollers and ASICs have become a dominant part during the last years in the development of embedded applications like automotive control units. As described in our previous contribution we presented an alternative approach exploiting the possibilities of partial run-time reconfiguration of state-of-the-art Xilinx Virtex FPGAs. Our approach used a run-time system software for controlling reconfiguration and message handling. This paper presents some new extensions introducing dynamic priority measures as a first approach for adaptive reconfiguration decisions.
