Co-processing with dynamic reconfiguration on heterogeneous MPSoC
Chao Wang, Xi Li, Xuehai Zhou, Yunji Chen, Koen Bertels · 2014
Reconfiguration technique has been considered as one of the most promising electronic design automation (EDA) technologies in MPSoC design paradigms. However, due to the unavoidable latency in the reconfiguration procedure, it still poses a significant challenge to efficiently analyze the trade-offs for the software/hardware execution, static reconfiguration and dynamic reconfiguration. In this paper we first present a heterogeneous MPSoC middleware to support state-of-the-art dynamic partial reconfigurable technologies. Furthermore, we evaluate the reconfiguration latency and analyze the trade-off for the dynamic partial reconfiguration technologies.
