The resulting application configuration space is generally much larger than any one hardware implementation can support. We provide an overview of a new data-adaptive approach to the rapid design and implementation of such highly configurable applications. In support of this data-adaptable approach, we present and detail an efficient and flexible hardware/software communication middleware to support the seamless communication between hardware and software tasks at runtime. We highlight the flexibility of this interface and present an initial case study and results demonstrating the performance capabilities and area requirements.</p>1 aMahadevan, Sachidanand1 aGopinath, Vijay1 aLysecky, Roman1 aSprinkle, Jonathan1 aRozenblit, Jerzy1 aMarcellin, Michael  uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ECBS.2011.12
