利用部分运行时重新配置的好处需要高效的工具。在本文中，我们介绍了Go Ahead工具，该工具能够为所有最新的Xilinx fpga实现运行时可重构系统。这包括特别支持低成本和低功耗的Spartan-6 fpga。Go Ahead协助地板规划和自动化约束生成。它与Xilinx供应商工具交互，并触发物理实现阶段，一直到最终配置位流。Go Ahead能够构建灵活的系统，将许多可重构模块非常有效地集成到一个系统中。该工具的目标是（重新）可用性，对未来设备的可移植性，以及具有不同FPGA甚至FPGA系列的可重构系统之间的迁移路径。此外，它还提供了一个脚本接口，所有功能都可以远程访问。
Exploiting the benefits of partial run-time reconfiguration requires efficient tools. In this paper, we introduce the tool Go Ahead that is able to implement run-time reconfigurable systems for all recent Xilinx FPGAs. This includes in particular support for low cost and low power Spartan-6 FPGAs. Go Ahead assists during floor planning and automates the constraint generation. It interacts with the Xilinx vendor tools and triggers the physical implementation phases all the way down to the final configuration bit streams. Go Ahead enables the building of flexible systems for integrating many reconfigurable modules very efficiently into a system. The tool targets (re)usability, portability to future devices, and migration paths among reconfigurable systems featuring different FPGAs or even FPGA families. Moreover, it provides a scripting interface and all features can be accessed remotely.
