ABSTRACT:
A method of designing FPGAs for reconfigurable computing comprises a software environment for reconfigurable coprocessor applications. This environment comprises a standard high level language compiler (i.e. Java) and a set of libraries. The FPGA is configured directly from a host processor, configuration, reconfiguration and host run-time operation being supported in a single piece of code. Design compile times on the order of seconds and built-in support for parameterized cells are significant features of the inventive method.
