【 摘 要 】

This paper introduces a new project named Context Switching Reconfigurable Hardware for Communication Systems (COSRECOS) which was started autumn 2009. In this project, recongurable hardware technology (Field Programmable Gate Arrays - FPGAs) will be applied for designing high performance computing systems for embedded communication systems. The overall goal of the project is to contribute in making run-time reconfigurable systems more feasible in general. This includes introducing architectures for reducing reconguration time as well as undertaking tool development. Case studies by applications in network and communication systems will be a part of the project. The paper describes how we plan to address the challenge of changing hardware configurations while a system is in operation.
