Abstract
A memory access system is described in which local memory units on a reconfigurable chip can be used in conjunction with the system memory. Data path units on the reconfigurable chip can cause data to be swapped in and out of the local memory units as a result of calculations within the reconfigurable fabric. Alternately, a cache-like system can be used so that the data can be read into the local memory unit from the system memory units automatically.
