Description
Summary:Using runtime reconfigurable systems can greatly increase the functional density of given area of silicon. Runtime reconfigurability is, for hardware designers, as virtual memory is, for software designers. By dynamically reconfiguring a device during its runtime, designers may implement so many functionalities on a limited area of silicon. This paper emphasizes this concept by implementing a set of digital filters. We chose the digital filters because of their importance to many computing tasks. It was shown that a considerable gain in the functional density is obtained when runtime reconfiguration is used
