Abstract :
The foundations for building the first Reliable Reconfigurable Real-Time Operating System (R3TOS) are presented. The main objective of R3TOS is to create an infrastructure for coordinately executing specialized hardware tasks upon a reconfigurable FPGA device, achieving the necessary flexibility for both gaining system performance (true hardware multitasking) and tolerating the occurring faults in the underlying chip´s silicon at runtime (true fault removal from system). R3TOS is aimed at easing the development of FPGA-based high-performance demanding reliable applications by hiding the complexity of these devices, promoting their use by the whole engineering community.
