This is the first book to focus on designing run-time reconfigurable systems on FPGAs, in order to gain resource and power efficiency, as well as to improve speed.  Case studies in partial reconfiguration guide readers through the FPGA jungle, straight toward a working system.  The discussion of partial reconfiguration is comprehensive and practical, with models introduced together with methods to implement efficiently the corresponding systems.  Coverage includes concepts for partial module integration and corresponding communication architectures, floorplanning of the on-FPGA resources, physical implementation aspects starting from constraining primitive placement and routing all the way down to the bitstream required to configure the FPGA, and verification of reconfigurable systems.

This book makes powerful Field Programmable GateArray (FPGA) and reconfigurable technology accessible to software engineers bycovering different state-of-the-art high-level synthesis approaches (e.g.,OpenCL and several C-to-gates compilers). It introduces FPGA technology, itsprogramming model, and how various applications can be implemented on FPGAswithout going through low-level hardware design phases. Readers will get arealistic sense for problems that are suited for FPGAs and how to implementthem from a software designer’s point of view. The authors demonstrate that FPGAs and their programming model reflectthe needs of stream processing problems much better than traditional CPU or GPUarchitectures, making them well-suited for a wide variety of systems, fromembedded systems performing sensor processing to large setups for Big Datanumber crunching.  This book serves as aninvaluable tool for software designers and FPGA design engineers who are interestedin high design productivity through behavioural synthesis, domain-specificcompilation, and FPGA overlays.Introduces FPGA technology to softwaredevelopers by giving an overview of FPGA programming models and design tools,as well as various application examples;Provides a holistic analysis of the topic andenables developers to tackle the architectural needs for Big Data processingwith FPGAs;Explains the reasons for the energy efficiencyand performance benefits of FPGA processing;Provides a user-orientedapproach and a sense for where and how to apply FPGA technology.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 31st International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS 2018, held in Braunschweig, Germany, in April 2018.The 23 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 53 submissions. ARCS has always been a conference attracting leading-edge research outcomes in Computer Architecture and Operating Systems, including a wide spectrum of topics ranging from embedded and real-time systems all the way to large-scale and parallel systems.

Schmidt, Brandt, Augstein, Prinz Charles, Lambsdorff, Strauß, Barzel und Co.Spiegel-Journalist Dirk Koch, der die Flick-Affäre aufdeckte, plaudert aus dem Nähkästchen und liest seinen heutigen Kollegen die Leviten.Die Gegenseite wird frech. Die Gegenseite, die Staatsmacht, hät ihre lästigen Kontrolleure, die Journalisten, für ge­schwächt. Sie meint, sie könne es sich inzwischen heraus­ nehmen, unter Vorwänden die Presseleute und erst recht ihre Informanten in Regierungen, Behörden und Parlamen­ten mit Gefängnisstrafen einzuschüchtern. Das hat es seit der Spiegel-­Affäre 1962 wegen angeblichen Landesverrats so nicht mehr gegeben.Es stimmt, der Stand des Journalisten ist geschwächt: Redak­tionen werden verkleinert, Zeitungstitel zusammengelegt, Auflagen und Zuschauerzahlen sinken wegen des veränderten Medienkonsums insbesondere jüngerer Leute. Aber tragen nicht Journalisten Mitschuld am Niedergang des Gewerbes? Hätten sie mehr Interessantes zu bieten, wäre das vom Infor­mationseinheitsbrei übersättigte Publikum nicht wieder zu locken? Es wird zu wenig und zu wenig gut recherchiert.

"Die Insel des Mondes", stößt Murt hervor, als er sich halb aufrichtet und ihm der Kopf nach vorne sinkt. Nicht zu besiegen sei Irland, auch wenn es dauere bis zum Sieg. "Insel des Mondes", hätten die Römer schon gesagt, hätten Angst gehabt, hätten sich nicht getraut, die Iren anzugreifen. "Insel des Mondes, das ist die Insel des Todes", sagt Murt, der Kopf ruckt hoch.
