Abstract

See full text

A compiling system and method generates a sequence of program instructions for use in a partially reconfigurable processing unit, a portion of the processing unit having a hardware organization that is selectively reconfigurable during execution of the sequence of program instructions among a plurality of configurations, and a portion of the processing unit having a non-reconfigurable hardware organization, each configuration comprising a computational unit optimized for performing a class of computations. A compiler selectively compiles high-level source code statements for execution using configurations of the reconfigurable portion of the processing unit responsive to meta-syntax compiler directives. A linker creates object files that optionally encapsulate bitstreams specifying hardware organizations corresponding to the configurations.
