The time it takes to reconfigure FPGAs can be a significant overhead for reconfigurable computing. In this paper we develop new compression algorithms for FPGA configurations that...
One of the major overheads in reconfigurable computing is the time it takes to reconfigure the devices in the system. The configuration compression algorithm presented in our prev...
In line with Shannon's ideas, we define the entropy of FPGA reconfiguration to be the amount of information needed to configure a given circuit onto a given device. We propos...
This paper examines the opportunity of using compression for accelerating the (re)configuration of FPGA devices, focusing on the choice of compression algorithms, and their hardwa...
One of the major overheads in reconfigurable computing is the time it takes to reconfigure the devices in the system. This overhead limits the speedups possible in this exciting n...
