A hybrid scheduling algorithm for reconfigurable processor architecture

Reconfigurable computing has been the promising processor architecture. This paper describes a hybrid scheduling algorithm for reconfigurable processor architecture. The processor consists of the general-purpose processor core and reconfigurable devices. And then general tasks and reconfigurable tasks are distinguished according to their features by the scheduler. The general tasks are scheduled to general processor core, and the reconfigurable tasks are scheduled to the reconfigurable devices. This algorithm implements the cooperative processing between the reconfigurable device and the general processor core. The experimental results show that this algorithm can achieve high efficiency and flexibility for such reconfigurable processor architecture.
