Abstract
One of the intended applications of the Xilinx XC6000 family is to be used as reconfigurable coprocessor to accelerate software. This approach has failed so far because of the lack of software support. First, there was no programming method similar to conventional coding. Second, there was no run time environment integrated in the operating system. Both will be presented in this paper.
This work was supported in part with funds of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft under reference number 322 1040 within the priority program “Design and design methodology of embedded systems”
