Abstract

This work presents the implementation of a preemptable reconfiguration interface that can be used in real-time embedded systems exploiting FPGA accelerators. The approach is based on a custom reconfiguration controller that allows to interrupt and resume a partial reconfiguration process. Such a controller guarantees worst-case latency bounds on its operations, so allowing the use of response-time analysis techniques to determine the finish time of preemptable reconfigurations under real-time constraints.
