New Algorithms, Architectures and Applications for Reconfigurable Computing

"Field programmability is a must in this new era of digital consumer goods," according to Dr. Makimoto. "These products have short time-to-market windows and product life cycles that come quickly and end dramatically. Flexible, agile solutions are critical." Dr. Tsugio Makimoto Corporate Advisor and IEEE Fellow, Sony "Programmable platforms, encompassing both software and hardware based configuration and adapatation technologies, are important implementation vehicles for System-on-Chip designers. The latest work on reconfigurable computing has considerably expanded the range of programmable platforms available to SoC design teams. Already a wide variety of products rely on these advanced platforms and the next decade should see a significant increase in their use."
