Establishment of low-power oriented dynamic hardware reconfigurationframeworks

尽管可重构系统具有动态和部分重构硬件的能力，但积极利用这一能力的方法尚未很好地建立。在这项工作中，从各种实现经验中提取了通用的设计框架，特别是在实时图像处理应用中，提出了如何将动态和部分重构应用到这些框架中，并证明了这些框架在性能比方面是有效的。实现了一种更加灵活的重构机制和一种自动提取和组合硬件相似性的设计工具，并通过实验验证了其有效性。

Although reconfigurable systems have ability to dynamically and partially reconfigure the hardware, methodology to aggressively utilize this ability was not well established. In this work, common design frameworks were extracted from various implementation experiences especially in real-time image processing applications, and how dynamic and partial reconfiguration can be applied to the frameworks was proposed and proven to be efficient in terms of power performance ratio. A novel mechanism for ever more flexible reconfiguration and a design tool that automatically extracts and combines similarities in hardware were also implemented and their effectiveness were empirically demonstrated.
