Abstract

As mobile and handheld devices are gaining popularity, many applications have found their way into these devices. Apart from optimized hardware-software architectures, new techniques and design methodologies are needed to support applications running on mobile systems. FPGA-based dynamic reconfigurable systems are currently the most feasible option to deliver embedded applications that have stringent requirements. There are different methods of reconfiguring the hardware on chip dynamically. Selecting a specific reconfiguration method and designing the corresponding hardware architectures for an application are important and challenging tasks in reconfigurable computing systems. In this work, we investigate different FPGA-based reconfiguration methods; study their features, advantages and disadvantages; and analyze the reconfiguration time and space overhead for each method.
