Description
Book SynopsisReconfigurable Computing Systems Engineering: Virtualization of Computing Architecture describes the organization of reconfigurable computing system (RCS) architecture and discusses the pros and cons of different RCS architecture implementations. Providing a solid understanding of RCS technology and where it's most effective, this book:
- Details the architecture organization of RCS platforms for application-specific workloads
- Covers the process of the architectural synthesis of hardware components for system-on-chip (SoC) for the RCS
- Explores the virtualization of RCS architecture from the system and on-chip levels
- Presents methodologies for RCS architecture run-time integration according to mode of operation and rapid adaptation to changes of multi-parametric constraints
- Includes illustrative examples, case studies, homework problems, and references to important literature

Trade Review
"Other texts having a similar focus tend to become entangled in technical details relating to a particular programming language, set of computer aided design tools, or device technology. As a result, these texts usually have a relatively short shelf life before they become obsolete. This text, on the other hand, is unique in that it stays within the realm of concepts and top-level design analysis and methodology, allowing it to be, and remain, applicable and relevant over a wide range of technologies."
—Dr. Jason D. Bakos, University of South Carolina, Columbia, USA
"The systematic representation of material, the detailed discussion of the main concepts, and the analysis of pros/cons of different approaches in architecture virtualization and static and dynamic integration will make this book very useful for engineers and students specializing in the development and design of field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based reconfigurable computing systems."
—From the Foreword by Dr. Karen Safaryan, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Unique Broadband Systems, Ltd. and Director of R&D and Engineering, UBS-Axcera, Inc. Canada
