IEEE Symposium on FPGAs for Custom Computing Machines
An Effective Design System for Dynamically Reconfigurable Architectures
Napa Valley, California
April 15-April 17
ISBN: 0-8186-8900-5
The SPARCS system is an integrated partitioning and synthesis environment for reconfigurable architectures. In this paper, we use the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) image compression algorithm as a design example to demonstrate the effectiveness of dynamic reconfiguration achieved using SPARCS. We present a typical design process using the SPARCS system consisting of temporal partitioning, spatial partitioning, and design synthesis. The results, obtained on a commercial RC architecture, show that the multiply-reconfigured version of the JPEG compression algorithm achieves reasonable improvement in execution times compared to the one-time configured version.
