随着可重构平台上可用的系统门的数量增加到超过2000万个，这些资源的管理以及它们在许多应用程序和用户之间的共享问题将变得更加令人关注。在本文中，我们描述了在可重构计算机操作系统中管理这些资源的研究问题。我们还详细介绍了一组可行的操作系统组件和可行的软件体系结构，并说明目前没有使用这些组件的操作系统实现。我们提出了一些性能指标，我们认为这些指标是衡量操作系统实现质量的重要指标。这包括区域碎片化、算法性能和应用程序性能。我们以一份关于我们为可重构计算机实现操作系统的状态报告来完成本文。
As the number of system gates available on reconfigurable platforms increase beyond 20 million, the issue of the management of these resources and their sharing among may applications and users will become more of a concern. In this paper we describe the research issues for managing these resources in an operating system for a reconfigurable computer. We also detail a feasible set of components for the operating system and a feasible software architecture We show there is no current operating system implementation with these components. We propose a number of performance metrics which we believe are important measures of the quality of an operating system implementation. These include fragmentation of area, algorithm performance and application performance. We complete the paper with a status report on our implementation of an operating system for a reconfigurable computer.
