.:: Project Description ::.

The first subproject of Polaris deals with the definition of suitable area constraints for tasks that will be configured on the device, and with the creation of an efficient allocation manager to perform placement choices. The goal of this subproject is to obtain good results according to several metrics, which include:

.:: Task Rejection Rate
.:: Fragmentation
.:: Overhead
.:: Efficiency

Those metrics are often in contrast one with the other, and it is important to find a good compromise between them. One first concern for this subproject lies then in the choice of different shaping' policies, to define reasonable area constraints for tasks to be configured on the target device. Another important direction for development of this subproject is the management of empty space inside the reconfigurable fabric, fundamental to further allow task placement decisions. Finally, the subproject deals with definition, evaluation and application of different fitting strategies (policies used to choose where to place a task among many acceptable solutions), to obtain good results; those fitting strategies can be either general purpose, such as First Fit or Best Fit, for example, or focused, such as Routing Aware of Fragmentation Aware.
