D.S.Ravi Kumar, P. Naveen Kumar . Hardware-software co-design for various Parallel applications using the Concept of Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration at FPGA Partitions. International Journal of Computer Applications. 1, 26 ( February 2010), 26-29. DOI=10.5120/484-794
Abstract
In this paper an effective hardware design methodology for the devices like mobile phones, digital cameras, etc is described. In those devices only few applications are running at given time. So it requires only few hardware blocks to be active. This design approach is based on the idea of configuring and programming the hardware of active application whenever required at a single Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chip.
