An Internet Based Development Framework for Reconfigurable Computing

The paper presents a development framework for the Xputer prototype Map-oriented Machine with Parallel Data Access (MoM-PDA). The MoM-PDA operates as a reconfigurable accelerator to a host computer. It utilizes the KressArray as a coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture and implements concurrent data access to parallel memory banks. An Internet-based development framework allows remote prototyping of accelerator applications and enables worldwide access to the prototype via the Internet.
