ECE Seminar

Concepts and Structures for Dynamic Runtime Reconfiguration

Type: ECE Master, 2SWS, 2 CP, offered each semester

Contents: learn how to work with literature and how to write a research paper and present it.

Topics are in the area of:

  • memory in the context of FPGAs, FPGA families,
  • concepts of runtime reconfiguration of hardware and the role of SRAM memory,
  • reconfigurable hardware structures, CGRAs (coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures),
  • reconfiguration technologies and mechanisms, i.e. hardware implementation elements for all types of calculations, e.g. for communication systems,
  • impact of (SRAM/DRAM) memory in different architectures, memory wall, roofline model, memory in HW-based AI implementations etc.
