A Dynamic Infrastructure for Communication in Dynamically Reconfigurable Devices

by Christophe Bobda et al. arXiv.org E-print Archive, 14 Oct 2005 A new paradigm to support the communication among modules dynamically placed on a reconfigurable device at run-time is presented. Based on the network on chip (NoC) infrastructure, we developed a dynamic communication infrastructure as well as routing methodologies capable to handle routing in a NoC with obstacles created by dynamically placed components. We prove the unrestricted reachability of components and pins, the deadlock-freeness and we finally show the feasibility of our approach by means on real life example applications. Read more
