Preemptive multitasking on FPGAs
L. J. Levinson, Reinhard Männer, M. Sessler, Harald Simmler · 2002
In exploring the efficacy of reconfigurable computing, one of the dimensions is the possibility for multitasking on an FPGA-based processor. Conventional computers and operating systems have demonstrated the many advantages of sharing computational hardware by several tasks over time. The ability to do run-time configuration and readback of FPGAs in a coprocessor architecture enables exploration of the problems of implementing realistic multitasking.
