Introduction to Reconfigurable Computing: Architectures, Algorithms, and Applications

This book provides a very strong theoretical and practical background to reconfigurable computing, from the early Estrin's machine to the very modern architecture like coarse-grained reconfigurable device and the embedded logic devices. Coverage details design and implementation, high-level synthesis for reconfigurable systems, temporal placement, on-line and dynamic interconnection, system on programmable chip, and applications. The book provides an entry point to the novice looking to move into the research field of reconfigurable computing, FPGA and system on programmable chip design. The book can also be used as teaching reference for a graduate course in computer engineering or as reference to advance electrical and computer engineers.
