Reconfigurable Hardware Technologies
Chapter
Abstract
A large number of reconfigurable hardware technologies have been proposed both in academia and commercially (some of them in their first market steps). They can be roughly classified in three major categories: a) Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), b) integrated circuit devices with embedded reconfigurable resources and c) embedded reconfigurable cores for Systems-on-Chip (SoCs). In this chapter representative commercial technologies are discussed and their main features are presented1.
