Abstract
The rapid progress and advancement in electronic chips technology provide a variety of new implementation options for system engineers. The choice varies between the flexible programs running on a general-purpose processor (GPP) and the fixed hardware implementation using an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Many other implementation options present, for instance, a system with a RISC processor and a DSP core. Other options include graphics processors and microcontrollers. Specialist processors certainly improve performance over general-purpose ones, but this comes as a quid pro quo for flexibility. Combining the flexibility of GPPs and the high performance of ASICs leads to the introduction of reconfigurable computing (RC) as a new implementation option with a balance between versatility and speed. The focus of this chapter is on introducing reconfigurable computers as…
