Block RAM implementation of a reconfigurable real-time PID controller
Le Roux, Rikus; Van Schoor, George; Van Vuuren, Pieter (IEEE, 2012)Despite the numerous advantages reconfigurable computing adds to a system, it is only advantageous if the execution time exceeds the configuration time. As a result of the long configuration time, reconfiguration is only ... -
Block RAM-based architecture for real-time reconfiguration using Xilinx® FPGAs
Le Roux, Rikus; Van Schoor, George; Van Vuuren, Pieter (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 2015)Despite the advantages dynamic reconfiguration adds to a system, it only improves system performance if the execution time exceeds the configuration time. As a result, dynamic reconfiguration is only capable of improving ... -
Improving functional density of time-critical applications using hardware-based dynamic reconfiguration and bitstream specialisation
Le Roux, Rikus; Van Schoor, George; Van Vuuren, Pieter (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 2019)The dynamic reconfiguration of an FPGA has many advantages, but the overhead from the process reduces the functional density of applications. Functional density is an indication of the composite benefits a reconfigured ... -
Parsing and analysis of a Xilinx FPGA bitstream for generating new hardware by direct bit manipulation in real-time
Le Roux, Rikus; Van Schoor, George; Van Vuuren, Pieter (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 2019)Despite the many advantages run-time reconfiguration of FPGAs brings to the table, its usage is mostly limited to quasi-static applications. This is either due to the throughput of the reconfiguration process, or the time ... -
A survey on reducing reconfiguration cost: reconfigurable PID control as a special case
Le Roux, Rikus R.; Van Schoor, George; Van Vuuren, Pieter A. (IFAC, 2014)Reconfigurable computing is a paradigm in computing architecture that refers to the practice of using interchangeable hardware modules to enhance the performance of conventional Von-Neumann style computing. Despite the ...
