Title:	Run-time reconfigurability: analysis and optimisation
Date:	March 30, 2009 (Monday)
Time:	10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Venue:	Room 121, 1/F, Ho Sin-hang Engineering Building, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, N.T.
Speaker:	Professor Wayne Luk Department of Computing Imperial College London United Kingdom

ABSTRACT:

This talk covers two themes concerning run-time reconfigurability of field-programmable devices such as FPGAs. The first theme covers an approach for analysing run-time reconfiguration, showing how the degree of parallelism in a reconfigurable design influences reconfiguration time and performance. The second theme involves a dynamic optimisation scheme which uses program phase information to optimize reconfigurable designs. This scheme forms the basis of facilities for hardware compilation and run-time configuration management.
