Abstract
FPGA-based systems are a significant area of computing, providing a high-performance implementation substrate for many different applications. However, the key to harnessing their power for most domains is developing mapping tools for automatically transforming a circuit or algorithm into a configuration for the system. In this paper we review the current state-of-the-art in mapping tools for FPGA-based systems, including single-chip and multi-chip mapping algorithms for FPGAs, software support for reconfigurable computing, and tools for run-time reconfigurability. We also discuss the challenges for the future, pointing out where development is still needed to let reconfigurable systems achieve all of their promise. 1.0 Introduction Reconfigurable computing is becoming a powerful methodology for achieving high-performance implementations of many applications. By mapping applications into FPGA hardware resources, extremely efficient computations can be performed. In [Hauck98] w...
