Abstract :
This paper presents a virtualization approach for heterogeneous adaptive multi-core systems distributed onto several FPGA-boards. The virtualization layer consists of an adapted embedded Linux kernel and several special purpose operating systems. The benefits are demonstrated with a complex image processing application.
