  1. Polaris Task shapes definitions, allocation and relocation management for a self dynamically reconfigurable architecture Dynamic Reconfigurability in Embedded Systems Design

  2. Outline • Motivations • Goals • Project Description • Subprojects: • Task allocation management • BiRF • General information

  3. Motivations • Need for an automated way to obtain an autonomous dynamically reconfigurable system • Starting from a specification: • Target application • Target device info • Reconfiguration model (1D or 2D) • Communication Infrastructure • Produce a “ready-to-use” architecture: • Setup configuration bitstream • Partial bitstreams • Blank bitstreams • Processor executable code to manage the runtime solutin

  4. Goals • Creation of a workflow to generate a self dynamically reconfigurable architecture with: • Support for 1D and 2D reconfiguration • Definition of “good” area constraints • Runtime task placement decisions • Internal and fast Task relocation • Performing critical architectural choices • Based on feedback from scenario simulation

  5. Project Description • Workflow to manage allocation and relocation of tasks in self dynamically reconfigurable architectures • Final goal: complete architecture (bitstreams and code) generation

  6. Tasks Allocation Management • Definition of Area Constraints and an Allocation manager • Desired features: • Low TRR, fragmentation, management overhead • High routing efficiency • Different “shaping” policies • Various fitting strategies: • General (First Fit, Best Fit, Worst Fit…) • Focused (Fragmentation Aware, Routing Aware… )

  7. BiRF • Architectural support of the flow: • Validation tool for the chosen • Reconfiguration model • Communication infrastructure • Simulation framework • Monitor the reconfigurable system evolution • Evaluate different placement policies and area constraints definitions • Relocation solution suitable for the target system • BiRF, BiRF2, …
