Hardware Enhanced Function Allocation Management in Reconfigurable Systems

We present a new approach for a function allocation manager supporting multiple reconfigurable devices. It is a rule-based approach considering resource usage and power consumption. An essential main component which is in the focus of this contribution is a retrieval-unit for function-requests. This unit adopts methodologies from the domain of knowledge-based systems by accounting quality-of-service related parameters from the calling application´s function request.
