Time-multiplexed implementation of hardware accelerated functions in a programmable integrated circuit

Abstract:

Time-multiplexing implementation of hardware accelerated functions includes associating each function of a plurality of functions from program code with an accelerator binary image specifying a hardware accelerated version of the associated function and determining which accelerator binary images are data independent. Using the computer hardware, the accelerator binary images can be scheduled for implementation in a programmable integrated circuit within each of a plurality of partial reconfiguration regions based on data independence.
