DCAM: Discrete Control Based Automatic Management for Reconfiguring FPGA Applications

摘要

This paper focused on providing a general modeling framework consists of dynamic semi-reconfigurable hardware system based on FPGA. A control methodology is considered to model the entire behavior of the computing system to derive a control objective enforcement. Here the automatic computing of hardware level is lesser than the software level. To do this a discrete control model including labeled transition systems is investigated whereas the DC algorithm is used to generate enforcements for controlling the behavior of the system. Also it comprises of a set of reconfigurable areas which can be dynamically partially reconfigured to execute the tasks. The DC manager is encoded with respect to various constraints and multiple objectives like resource reuse, cost and time minimization. The entire framework model is simulated and experimented in Xilinx FPGA platform.
