.:: Project Description ::.

Aim of this work is to propose a novel solution, based on Linux OS, that is able to manage both partial and complete system reconfigurations on a Multi-FPGAs Clustered Architecture, called MFCA, completely hiding the physical infrastructure from the user.

Our approach is based on a system architecture which implements a system on a single FPGA that is able to perform partial self-reconfiguration. In a multi-FPGAs reconfigurable scenario this solution can be extended to satisfy the needs of the proposed system and to hide to the application layer all the implementation details that allow distributed (on a multi-FPGAs architecture) reconfiguration, showing to this layer an interface similar to that of the single FPGA scenario. In such a scenario, the proposed MFCA system can be considered as the basic component of a more complex solution characterized by a distributed architecture where the nodes are the defined MFCAs.
