IMPRESS

Take a look at Just in Time HW Composition using IMPRESS

Key Features

• Module relocation
• Reconfigurable to reconfigurable communications.
• Stacking of multiple modules in a clock region.
• Hierarchical reconfiguration.
• Decouples the static and reconfigurable designs.
• Provides LUT-based components for faster reconfiguration
• Run-time support for building 2D reconfigurable architectures

Users

• Hardware engineers with little experience designing reconfigurable systems.
• Hardware engineers targeting regular 2D mesh-type reconfigurable architectures.

Benefits for the User

• Enables the design of complex reconfigurable architectures (i.e., 2D mesh-type reconfigurable architectures) with modules containing LUT-based components.
• Enables just-in-time hardware composition.

Inputs

• Static and reconfigurable HDL source files.
• Virtual architecture description.
• Module interface descriptions (optional).

Outputs

• Static and reconfigurable partial bitstreams.

Role in the CERBERO Toolchain

• Enables just-in-time hardware composition by allowing to build regular 2D mesh-type architectures on the fly
• Reduces memory footprint in ARTICo³ partial bitstreams.
