FASTER

FASTER is a FP7 European Commission funded research project that aims to provide a complete novel methodology that enables designers to easily implement and verify applications on reconfigurable platforms (e.g., FPGA) consisting of general-purpose processors and accelerator modules. The project aims to improve designer productivity via a seamless implementation and verification of dynamically reconfigurable systems. FASTER will also develop ground breaking techniques to optimize and verify static and dynamic aspects of a reconfigurable computing system while minimizing runtime overheads on execution speed, silicon area and power consumption / energy... Extending product functionality and lifetime requires constant addition of new features to satisfy the growing customer needs and the evolving market and technology trends. Software component adaptivity is straightforward but not enough: recent products include hardware accelerators - for reasons of performance and power efficiency -..
