Summary: | This is the first book to focus on designing run-time reconfigurable systems on FPGAs, in order to gain resource and power efficiency, as well as to improve speed.� Case studies in partial reconfiguration guide readers through the FPGA jungle, straight toward a working system.� The discussion of partial reconfiguration is comprehensive and practical, with models introduced together with methods to implement efficiently the corresponding systems. �Coverage includes concepts for partial module integration and corresponding communication architectures, floorplanning of the on-FPGA resources, physical implementation aspects starting from constraining primitive placement and routing all the way down to the bitstream required to configure the FPGA, and verification of reconfigurable systems. � Provides comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art partial run-time reconfiguration techniques, including architectures, methods, and tools; Focuses on real applications that will benefit from partial reconfiguration;�� Describes methods and tools to implement efficient, reconfigurable systems that can substantially improve cost, power consumption, or speed (throughput/latency); Includes practical use-cases that act as design patterns for a wide range of applications. �
