SPP 1148: Reconfigurable Computing Systems

优先方案的目的是为能够使其行为和结构适应不断变化的操作和环境条件、时变的优化目标和物理限制的计算系统领域的基础研究提供基础。例如不断变化的协议、新标准或动态变化的技术系统运行条件。由于产品寿命不断缩短，能够在不同硬件粒度级别上进行重新配置的系统将变得越来越重要，因为只有这样的系统才能为在设计时仍然未知的约束条件下的应用程序提供最佳解决方案，而不会浪费大量时间进行重新设计。此外，可重新配置硬件技术带来的灵活性允许以低成本生产复杂系统，特别是对于低到中等批量生产的系统。未来产品的理念是自我重构和自我修复的系统。该计划的中心研究课题是研究机制和重新配置的效率，调查模型和语言，以支持硬件可重构性以及架构和应用程序。众所周知，随着嵌入式电子系统市场的迅速发展，可重构计算系统越来越多地应用于许多技术产品的应用领域。在研究项目中，由于此类系统的复杂性，跨学科研究团队的合作至关重要。来自半导体技术（片上系统（SoC）技术，混合信号设计），计算机体系结构（多处理器系统，容错），系统级编程（编译器，操作系统）领域的科学家以及电子设计自动化领域的专家聚集在一起。优先方案的目标是使德国在可重构计算系统领域发挥领导作用。预计科学和技术成果将为更有效地利用可重构soc技术在未来的广泛应用做出宝贵贡献。

It is the aim of the Priority Programme to provide a basis for basic research in the area of computing systems that are able to adapt their behaviour and structure to changing operating and environmental conditions, time-varying optimisation objectives and physical constraints. Examples are changing protocols, new standards or dynamically changing operation conditions of technical systems.Due to constantly decreasing product lifetimes, systems being capable of reconfiguration on different levels of hardware granularity will become more and more important because only such systems are able to provide optimal solutions for applications with constraints still being unknown at design-time and without having wasting incredible times for redesign.Moreover, the flexibility introduced with reconfigurable hardware technology allows for producing complex systems at low cost, particularly for systems being produced in low to medium volumes. Ideas for products of the future are self-reconfigurable and self-healing systems.Central research topics within the programme are the study of mechanisms and of the efficiency of reconfiguration, to investigate models and languages to support hardware reconfigurability as well as of architectures and applications. It is well known that reconfigurable computing systems are increasingly used in many application domains of technical products due to the rapidly increasing market of embedded electronic systems. Within the research program, the cooperation of an interdisciplinary team of researchers is of utmost importance for complexity reasons of such systems. Scientists from the field of semiconductor technology (System-on-a-Chip (SoC) technology, mixed signal design), computer architecture (multiprocessor systems, fault tolerance), system level programming (compiler, operating systems) and particularly experts in the field of electronic design automation are brought together. The goal of the Priority Programme is to develop a leading role of Germany in the area of reconfigurable computing systems. It is expected that both scientific and technical results will make a valuable contribution to the more efficient use of reconfigurable SoC-technology for a broad range of applications in the future.
