Module Placement Using Constraint Programming in Run-Time Reconfigurable Systems

Run-time reconfiguration has the potential to allow reuse of resources and the reduce cost of FPGA-based systems. To compute feasible placement locations for PR modules in such systems, multiple constraints have to be evaluated. This includes unused area, placement of heterogeneous resources and communication requirements of the PR module. To improve resource utilization, both polyomino shaped PR modules and PR modules with layout variants have...
