  • Abstract
    We present experimental evidence that multiple compute-units, compiled from sequential high-level language input programs, can be merged into a reduced number of configurations for a reconfigurable fabric (such as a modem FPGA), thus significantly reducing the reconfiguration overhead. For cases requiring multiple configurations, both heuristical and exact algorithms to solve the configuration merging problem are described.
