Read the definition of reconfigurable computing, containig an
historical introduction about the subject starting from Gerald Estrin's
work. It also cites the XPP and PiCoGA among the solutions that
contributed to the reconfigurable computing reinassance of the last
decade. BRASS Berkeley Reconfigurable
Architectures System and Software. The BRASS group developed the GARP chip for
reconfigurable processing as well as the SCORE
(Stream Computation Organized for Reconfigurable Execution), a
stream-based
computer model which virtualizes reconfigurable computing resources and
the Pleiades
project that seeks to achieve ultra-low power high-performance
multimedia computing through the reconfiguration of heterogeneous
system modules. Configware

"hardware" is not really
hard
like classical hardware. It can be re-configured by structural code
(configuration
code) to be downloaded into the "hidden" RAM of such Morphware. Such
structural code is fundamentally different from
(classical) Software. Programming such reconfigurable platforms
needs Configware instead. We may
distinguish FPGAs
(fine-grained morphware) from reconfigurable Data Path Arrays (DPAs:
coarse-grained morphware): configured pipe networks.

FHPCAFHPGA stands for the FPGA High Performance Computing alliance, it is an organizaton composed of Algotronix, Alpha Data, EPCC, Institute for System Level Integration, Nallatech, Xilinx, Scottish Enterprise.The FPGA High Performance Computing Alliance (FHPCA) is developing high-performance computing solutions using Field Programmable Gate Arrays(FPGAs) to deliver new levels of performance into the technical computing market. DRC, modular coprocessor systemMany of the technological barriers to widespread use of reconfigurable computers have been overcome, and with standards-based reconfigurable interfaces and hardware plus a growing body of standard language compilers to support the technology, reconfigurable computing is poised to break through as a viable solution for a wide range of commercial and HPC applications. configurable computing lab,
