....Section 4 presents the object oriented design environment we used to design the application. Section 5 discusses the heterogeneous context switching issues. Section 6 gives an overview of implementation results on a specific case study. Finally some conclusions are drawn in Section 7. Related work [3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12] will be discussed throughout the paper. 2. Hardware software multitasking on a reconfigurable computing platform The problem of designing and managing relocatable tasks fits into the more general research topic of hard also Professor at Vrije Universiteit Brussel also Professor at ....

....hardware vendor. This usually generates an irregular task footprint. At run time, the management software is responsible for arranging all the tasks inside the reconfigurable fabric. When using irregular task shapes, the management software needs to run a complex fitting algorithm (e.g. [6, 7]) Executing this placement algorithm considerably increases run time overhead. In our infrastructure, the designer constrains the place and route tool to fit the task in the shape of a tile. Run time task placement is therefore greatly facilitated, since every tile has the same size and same ....

....then given as: F =1 ## a 2 i ) # a i ) Best fit checks all possible placements of a task and selects the position that minimizes the resulting fragmentation grade. To evaluate the placement qualities of this techniques, we have conducted simulations with randomly generated task sets [17]. We have simulated the placement of a set of hardware tasks on a reconfigurable array of limited size and have measured the overall execution time. We assume that hardware tasks cannot be preempted. We have generated five classes of task sets that differ in task sizes but have equal distributions ....
