Abstract
Reconfigurable computing technologies have been used in a variety of computer systems, from supercomputers to portable embedded systems. However, developing applications on reconfigurable computers still appears to be more difficult than developing applications on conventional computers and on graphics processing units. This paper suggests some reasons about why this could be the case, and proposes a number of solutions designed to meet the challenge of improving design productivity and performance for reconfigurable computing systems.
