Reconfigurable Computing Machines

suspect not)Duncan Buell
2
The Programming Needs

• Quick and dirty pathway to working code
• Software simulation for correct execution
• Programmer control of data movement, code block
  execution, memory alignments,
• Interoperation with code blocks on other compute
  nodes

3
The Design Needs (?)

• Very efficient use of hardware
• Ability to design digital logic control
  structures
• Synthesis for flow of signals in a DAG
• Embedding of FPGA designs in other hardware

4
Are These Compatible?

• Maybe,
• but I think probably not
