Abstract

Reconfigurable computing is an emerging paradigm enabled by the growth in size and speed of FPGAs. In this paper we discuss its place in the evolution of computing as a technology as well as the role it can play in the current technology outlook. We discuss the evolution of ROCCC (Riverside Optimizing Compiler for Configurable Computing) in this context.
