Virtual Architectures for Partial Runtime Reconfigurable Systems. Application to Network on Chip based SoC Emulation

摘要

The paper presents a method for designing Virtual Architectures (VAs) for partial runtime reconfigurable systems (pRTRs). The presented method permits to create flexible pRTRs. Such pRTR system is used as a core for a Network on Chip based SoC emulation. The main advantage of the emulation framework is that it permits fast emulation and design space exploration. The paper includes a brief description of all the building elements of the emulation framework and a use case that demonstrates the advantages of the designed pRTRs.
