Abstract
A platform supporting reconfigurable computing, enabling the introduction of reconfigurable hardware into portable devices is described. Dynamic hardware/software multitasking methods for a reconfigurable computing platform including reconfigurable hardware devices such as gate arrays, especially FPGA's, and software, such as dedicated hardware/software operating systems and middleware, adapted for supporting the methods, especially multitasking, are described. A computing platform, which is a heterogeneous multi-processor platform, containing one or more instruction set processors (ISP) and a reconfigurable matrix (for instance a gate array, especially an FPGA), adapted for (dynamic) hardware/software multitasking is described.
