A Hardware Resource Management System for Adaptive Computing on Dynamically Reconfigurable Devices

This paper proposes a realization method of the computer system with dynamical hardware-resource allocation on dynamically reconfigurable devices. The system consists of two or more parts and they can change the number of processing units according to each processing load. In the system, there is a competition problem between these parts. In order to solve this problem, we investigate required functions of resource management units on a simple processing model. This model is an adapted load balancing model consisting of an upper management unit, two management units and processing units shared by them
