Abstract

We present an overview of a data-adaptable reconfigurable embedded systems design methodology. The paper presents a novel paradigm for hardware/software code sign and reconfigurable computing driven by data-adaptability. The data-adaptable approach allows designers to directly model the data configurability of the target application, thereby enabling a solution that permits dynamic reconfiguration based on the data profile of the incoming data stream. This approach permits low-power, small form-factor hardware implementations of algorithms that might otherwise consume significant resources, or perhaps exceed the available space of the reconfigurable hardware.
