About this Item

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - For manyyears,the idea of recon gurablehardwaresystems hasrepresentedthe Holy Grail for computer systemdesigners.It has been recognizedfor a long time that the microprocessor provides high exibility but at a very low performance merit in terms of MIPS/W or other such measures. Recon gurable systems are thus attractive as they can be con gured to provide the best match for the computational requirements at that speci c time, giving much better area speed power performance. However, the practicalities of achieving such a recon gurable system are - merous andrequirethe developmentof: suitable recon gurablehardwareto s- portthe dynamicbehavior;programmingtoolsto allowthe dynamicbehavior of the recon gurability to be modelled; programming languages to support rec- guration;andveri cationtechniquesthatcandemonstratethatrecon guration hashappenedcorrectlyateachstage.Whiletheproblemsaremany,theexistence and development of technologies such as the multi-core processor architecture, recon gurable computing architectures, and application-speci c processors s- gest there is a strong desire for recon gurable systems. Moreover, FPGAs also provide the ideal platforms for the development of such platforms. The major motivation behind the International Workshop on Applied - con gurable Computing (ARC) series is to create a forum for presenting and discussing on-going research e orts in applied recon gurable computing. The workshop also focuses on compiler and mapping techniques, and new recon- urablecomputingarchitectures.Theseriesofeditionsstartedin2005inAlgarve, Portugal, followed by the 2006 workshop in Delft, The Netherlands, and last year s workshop in Mangaratiba, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

About this title

Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Applied Reconfigurable Computing, ARC 2008, held in London, UK, in March 2008. The 21 full papers and 14 short papers presented together with the abstracts of 3 keynote lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 56 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on programming and compilation, DNA and string processing applications, scientific applications, reconfigurable computing hardware and systems, image processing, run-time behavior, instruction set extension, as well as random number generation and financial computation.

From the Back Cover

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed conference proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Reconfigurable Computing: Architectures, Tools and Applications, ARC 2014, held in Vilamoura, Portugal, in April 2014. The 16 revised full papers presented together with 17 short papers and 6 special session papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. The topics covered are applications; methods, frameworks and OS for debug, over-clocking, and relocation; memory architectures; methodologies and tools; and architectures.
