Reconfigurable Computing Systems Engineering : Virtualization of Computing Architecture

This book offers a road map to the synthesis of reconfigurable computing system (RCS) architecture, exploring the process from the system and on-chip levels. It describes in detail all aspects of hardware virtualization in RCS platforms—from system-on-chip components to on-board levels—for application-specific workloads, presenting methodologies for rapid adaptation to multi-parametric constraints by dynamic reconfiguration of the RCS architecture. Featuring illustrative examples, case studies, homework problems, and important literature references, the text provides a solid understanding of RCS technology and where it’s most effective.

Reconfigurable Computing Systems Engineering: Virtualization of Computing Architecture describes the organization of reconfigurable computing system (RCS) architecture and discusses the pros and cons of different RCS architecture implementations. Providing a solid understanding of RCS technology and where it’s most effective, this book:

• Details the architecture organization of RCS platforms for application-specific workloads
• Covers the process of the architectural synthesis of hardware components for system-on-chip (SoC) for the RCS
• Explores the virtualization of RCS architecture from the system and on-chip levels
• Presents methodologies for RCS architecture run-time integration according to mode of operation and rapid adaptation to changes of multi-parametric constraints
• Includes illustrative examples, case studies, homework problems, and references to important literature

Reconfigurable Computing Systems Engineering: Virtualization of Computing Architecture offers a complete road map to the synthesis of RCS architecture, exposing hardware design engineers, system architects, and students specializing in designing FPGA-based embedded systems to novel concepts in RCS architecture organization and virtualization.
