ABSTRACT
The closing half of this chapter is devoted not so much to what might come, as to what I heartily wish would come.
Reconfigurable Hardware The ultimate solution to the partitioning problem might be a new technol ogy known as reconfigurable hardware. Reconfigurable hardware might be the future of computing systems in general, whether they are desktop PCs or embedded systems. Reconfigurable hardware is circuitry that can be changed dynamically so that its very structure changes at run time.
