Abstract:
A reconfigurable computing system for interfacing one or more application programs running on a host system to one or more hardware objects defined in one or more configuration files, comprising:reconfigurable computing circuitry comprising flexibly configurable circuitry operable for interfacing to and implementing the one or more hardware objects with at least one of the one or more application programs; memory circuitry associated with the reconfigurable computing circuitry for system information storage; interfaces for communicatively connecting the reconfigurable computing circuitry and memory circuitry to the host system; and a reconfigurable computing software driver for managing, configuring and reconfiguring the reconfigurable computing system; wherein each of the one or more hardware objects has an information block associated with each of the one or more configuration files in which said each of the one or more hardware objects is defined.
