Abstract
We present an efficient technique to implement multi-controller systems using partial reconfigurable hardware (FPGA). The control algorithm is implemented as a dedicated circuit. Partial runtime reconfiguration is used to increase the resource efficiency by keeping just the currently active controller modules on the FPGA while inactive controller modules are stored in an external memory.
This work was partly developed in the course of the Graduate College 776 -Automatic Configuration in Open Systems- and the Collaborative Research Center 614 – Self-Optimizing Concepts and Structures in Mechanical Engineering – University of Paderborn, and was published on its behalf and funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
