Design visualisation for dynamically reconfigurable systems

Abstract

This paper presents the results of experimentation with a design visualisation for dynamically reconfigurable systems. Several techniques have been developed, which provide visualisation of temporal and spatial characteristics of a design with one or more configurations. The presented visualisation techniques are capable of supporting the design space exploration for both reconfigurable and partially reconfigurable systems. The practicality of these techniques has been verified on their implementation in the DYNASTY Framework.
