Abstract

One of the drawbacks of (self-)reconfigurable systems is their expensive implementation. Part of the blame lies with the amount of redundancy that we must introduce in order to be able to express different configurations in the same system, but we also detect a tendency towards overcomplicate research on this topic. This paper analyzes the hardware mechanisms needed to implement a reconfigurable system and compares them to the ones needed for testing and debugging. We propose sharing the low level mechanisms between system level tasks, in order to save energy, area and complexity. Besides, we offer two proposals for more efficient implementation of two types of systems found in the literature
