Abstract

See full text

A method and system for computing using reconfigurable computer architecture utilizing logic devices is disclosed. The computing may be accomplished by configuring a first programmable logic unit as a system controller. The system controller directs the implementation of an algorithm in a second one of the programmable logic units concurrently with reconfirguring a third one of the programmable logic units. In another aspect, the computing system may include a pair of independent, bi-directional busses each of which is arranged to electrically interconnect the system controller and the plurality of programmable logic devices. With this arrangement, a first bus may be used to reconfigure a selected one of the programmable logic devices as directed by the system controller while the second bus is used by an operational one of the programmable logic devices.
