The custom computing systems on the reconfigurable platform has often achieved the performance several orders of magnitude higher than the traditional processor based solutions. The significant advantage of reconfigurable computing has been achieved mainly because of three reasons. Implementing of algorithms directly in hardware, on the level of circuits, thus, without control overhead. As a result, the computational density is an order of magnitude higher than in conventional processors.
Parallelism is the nature of hardware.
Implementing algorithms in hardware means the massive use of parallelism. As the computing space is large and reconfigurable, the high degree of parallelism and efficient implementation are easily achievable. This conference focuses on the different approaches in engineering of reconfigurable systems and implementing of algorithms, i.e. on this new paradigm of computing, including theory, architecture, algorithms, design systems and applications that demonstrate the benefits of reconfigurable computing. Mapping algorithms into hardware, space-time mapping and synthesis of regular arrays, IP based methods, dataflow and functional programming approaches, logical specification and verification, developing correct circuits, the impact of reconfigurable hardware architectures onto algorithm parallelization, biologically inspired methods etc. System Architectures, Aspects and Evaluation.
