A Multimedia Tool for Teaching Reconfigurable Computing

This paper proposes a method for efficient teaching of reconfigurable computing. Nowadays, reconfigurable systems, in general, and FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) based systems, in particular, constitute an essential part of engineering practice. The paper argues importance of reconfigurable systems in education and suggests a multimedia tool augmented with an FPGA-based prototyping system, which could contribute to productive teaching of reconfigurable computing.
