Abstract

This article overviews how the rapid changes to field-programmable gate array (FPGA) devices have refocused operating systems research within reconfigurable computing. Where the goal was once to simply use existing operating systems, FPGA-based OS research may now be in the new position of helping define the look and feel of next-generation operating systems for evolving chip-heterogeneous multiprocessor systems.
