Self-Configurable FPGA-Based Computer Systems

Abstract

Method of information processing in reconfigurable computer systems is formulated and its improvements that allow an information processing efficiency to increase are proposed. New type of high-performance computer systems, which are named self-configurable FPGA-based computer systems and perform information processing according to this improved method, is proposed. The structure of self-configurable FPGA-based computer systems, rules of application of computer software and hardware means, which are necessary for these systems implementation, are described and their execution time characteristics are estimated. The directions for further works are discussed.
