Reconfigurable Computing: Architectures, Tools and Applications: 6th International Symposium, ARC 2010, Bangkok, Thailand, March 17-19, 2010, . Issues) (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

Recon?gurable computing (RC) systems have generated considerable interest in the embedded and high-performance computing communities over the past two decades, with ?eld programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) as the leading techn- ogy at the helm of innovation in this discipline. Achieving orders of magnitude performance and power improvements using FPGAs over traditional microp- cessorsis not uncommon for well-suitedapplications. But even with two decades of research and technological advances, FPGA design still presents a subst- tial challenge and often necessitates hardware design expertise to exploit its true potential. Although the challenges to address the design productivity - sues are steep, the promise and the potential of the RC technology in terms of performance, power, size, and versatility continue to attract application design engineers and RC researchers alike. The International Symposium on Applied Recon?gurable Computing (ARC) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners of RC systems with an emphasis on practical applications and design methodologies of this promising technology. This year’s ARC symposium (The sixth ARC symposium) was held in Bangkok, Thailand during March 17–19, 2010, and attracted papers in three primary focus areas:RC applications, RC architectures, and RC design meth- ologies.

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.
