Abstract

Hardware reconfiguration during run-time provides attractive features like fast adaptivity, high hardware utilisation, and low area consumption due to efficient reuse of hardware components. In this paper, a novel multi-layered reconfiguration mechanism is proposed that allows frequent dynamic reconfiguration at very low latencies. It combines successful existing techniques such as multi-context and partial reconfiguration with new ideas like tag-matching and reconfiguration profiles to one uniform approach. As an important feature, the proposed reconfiguration mechanism is well scalable and can be adapted to given hardware structures easily, thus being applicable to virtually any reconfigurable fabric. In contrast to many existing techniques, it also supports even very heterogeneous architectures found for instance in custom reconfigurable systems. By experimental results, we show that our reconfiguration mechanism provides significantly lower reconfiguration latencies compared to some common existing techniques.
一种可扩展的快速动态重构机制
运行时的硬件重新配置提供了一些有吸引力的特性,比如快速自适应、高硬件利用率和由于有效重用硬件组件而产生的低面积消耗。本文提出了一种新的多层重构机制,可以在非常低的延迟下实现频繁的动态重构。它将现有的成功技术(如多上下文和部分重构)与标签匹配和重构概要文件等新思想结合到一个统一的方法中。作为一个重要的特点,所提出的重构机制具有良好的可扩展性,可以很容易地适应给定的硬件结构,因此几乎适用于任何可重构的结构。与许多现有技术相比,它甚至支持非常异构的体系结构,例如在定制的可重构系统中。实验结果表明,与一些常见的现有技术相比,我们的重构机制提供了显着降低的重构延迟。
