| Research Abstract |
The effectiveness of reconfigurable computing, a new computing paradigm and the potential abilities of reconfigurable logic device were worked out from the practical experiments and the quantitative evaluations in the research and development of flexible hardware and remote reconfiguration techniques. The following are major results in each research section.
(1)Study on device architecture for flexible hardware
A mechanism of run-time reconfiguration with available LSI integration was considered. New device architecture was proposed and its effectiveness was confirmed from the evaluation.
(2)Development of remote reconfiguration techniques and applied experiments
A device reconfiguration API which is independent on platforms was developed to realize remote reconfiguration, and the usefulness was shown through applied experiment using remote logic analyzer.
(3)Development of reconfigurable computing support software
Guidelines for design and development of technology mapping and place and rou

te techniques toward next generation reconfigurable logic was made from the results of related researches and the evaluation with current EDA tools.
(4)Design and prototyping of reconfigurable logic
A simulation environment to investigate performance and power consumption according to device organization and hardware design tool suitable for proposed architecture were developed. A next generation FPGA was designed and was also evaluated through applicable experiment.
(5)Development of software development environment and adapting to reconfigurable logic
A development environment based on hardware/software co-design scheme which realizes cooperative synthesis of hardware and software from system description was developed, and its effectiveness was confirmed by using evaluation platform with embedded processor FPGA.
(6)Experiment toward practical use of reconfigurable computing including remote reconfiguration
Guidelines for practical use were cleared through building system using remote reconfiguration techniques and feasibility experiment with practical application having security facilities. Less
