An adaptive on-line HW/SW partitioning for soft real time reconfigurable systems

Abstract

We present a new HW/SW partitioning approach. This partitioning method is called an online partitioning algorithm (O.P.A) which consists to adapt dynamically the architecture to the processing requirements. A scheduling heuristic is associated to this partitioning approach. We compare our method with an off-line static HW/SW partitioning approach.
