Recently, Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) are
widely used for prototyping of development, scientific
calculation, education, and nowadays even for consumer
products, since designers can program, in other
words, configure functions on the device by themselves
and achieve short-term and low-cost design. Led by
the advance of the technologies, the performance, the
functionality, and the flexibility of PLDs has been significantly
extended and they draw attention as a key
device to open up a vista of the computer system called
reconfigurable computing.
Self-reconfigurable architecture is proposed
as such an evolution of PLDs with the unique characteristics
as array of homogeneous, relocatable, and expandable
cells; unification of logic and memory; asynchronous
cooperation of circuits; and dynamic reconfiguration
by itself.
