The prospect of computing acceleration using reconfigurable logic technology in huge computation power systems

Abstract Authors present reconfigurable computing technique. It is already known but not frequently used. This technique assumes adaptation of hardware architecture to fit its structure to the currently performed algorithm. Authors focus on reconfiguration computing utilization in multi-user, multi-threaded systems that offers huge computational power. Basic methods and concepts are presented and new perspectives are introduced according present technology offered by commercially available FPGA reconfigurable logic chips.
