Dynoc: a dynamic infrastructure for communication in dynamically reconfigurable devices

Abstract

A new paradigm to support the communication among modules dynamically placed on a reconfigurable device at run-time is presented. Based on the network on chip (NoC) infrastructure, we developed a dynamic communication infrastructure as well as routing methodologies capable to handle routing in a NoC with obstacles created by dynamically placed components. We prove the unrestricted reachability of components and pins, the deadlock-freeness and we finally show the feasibility of our approach by means on real life example applications.
