Special Section on Reconfigurable Systems

摘要

The research field on Reconfigurable Systems has become important and popular along with rapid advances of field programmable devices. A large part of ASICs has been replaced with such field programmable devices, and their application is stretched to high performance computing as well as traditional embedded applications. Partial and dynamic reconfiguration have become a common design choice rather than challenging techniques. Also, coarse grained reconfigurable architectures have been embedded into real consumer devices as a flexible low power accelerators.
