Method for configuring and managing reconfigurable system and configuration management unit for reconfigurable system

Abstract

The invention discloses a configuration management unit used for a reconfigurable system. The system comprises a micro-processing array module, an off-chip storage interface module and a configuration information buffer module. External signals are transmitted to the micro-processing array module through the off-chip storage interface module and then are transmitted to the configuration information buffer module, so that the processing efficiency of the configuration information is improved. The invention also provides a method for configuring and managing the reconfigurable system. A three-level flow process configuration management method is adopted to change the configuration management way in the traditional coarseness reconfigurable system, thereby improving the dynamic reconfiguration efficiency of a complex coarseness reconfigurable system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of embedded reconfigurable design, in particular to a method for configuration management of a reconfigurable system and a configuration management unit for the reconfigurable system. Background technique [0002] With the emergence of FPGA reconfigurable technology, the traditional embedded design method has been greatly changed. Reconfigurable computing, as a new computing model in the space-time domain, has broad application prospects in the field of embedded and high-performance computing. It has become the development trend of the current embedded system. The development of partial dynamic reconfigurable technology represents a new reconfigurable design concept, mostly composed of microprocessors and reconfigurable hardware. Reconfigurable hardware can use FPGA fine-grained logic units, or specific The coarse-grained module of functions makes the execution of hardware functions more flexible, and the gap between...

Problems solved by technology

However, when performing word-level operations, there are many disadvantages: high interconnection costs and low chip area utilization, resulting in low system performance and power consumption.

Traditional configuration information management methods for coarse-grained reconfigurable systems cannot transmit configuration information to coarse-grained reconfigurable arrays in a timely and effective manner, thus limiting the performance improvement of coarse-grained reconfigurable systems
