Reconfigurable Computing From FPGAs to Hardware/Software Codesign
As the complexity of modern embedded systems increases, it becomes less practical to design monolithic processing platforms. As a result, reconfigurable computing is being adopted widely for more flexible design. Reconfigurable Computers offer

Preface Dr. Panagiotis Tsarchopoulos
The objective of the European research programme in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is to improve the competitiveness of European industry and enable Europe to master and shape future developments in ICT. ICT is at the very core of the knowledge based society. EU research funding has as target to strengthen Europe’s scientific and technology base and to ensure European leadership in ICT, help drive and stimulate product, service and process innovation and creativity through ICT use and value creation in Europe, and ensure that ICT progress is rapidly transformed into benefits for Europe’s citizens, businesses, industry and governments. Over the past years, the European Commission has constantly increased the amount of funding going to research in computing architectures and tools through the European research programme in Information and Communication Technologies. In this context, the European Commission has funded a number of European research projects in the area of reconfigurable computing. Results from these projects are being presented in this book providing a valuable reference point, which describes the efforts of several international research teams. Reconfigurable Computing is a fascinating alternative to mainstream computing. But is it always going to remain just an alternative occupying a market niche? The potential for reconfigurable computing has not yet been fully unleashed although there have been notable succes
