Channel communication and Reconfigurable Hardware

Many applications can be structured as a set ofprocesses or threads that communicate via channels. Thesethreads can be executed on various platforms (e.g. generalpurpose CPU, DSP, FPGA, etc). In our research we applychannels as a basic communication mechanism betweenthreads in a reconfigurable system.The research involves providing system level functionsto describe the setup of communicating threads, whichmay now either run timeshared on a general CPU or indynamically-setup special...
