| Abstract | Dynamic partial reconfiguration allows the exchange of hardware configurations on FPGAs at run-time. Within a reconfigurable system that supports several different modules, resource requirements for interconnect between these modules may be considerably high. Enabling communication via a crossbar may require too many resources. State-of-the-art modelling methods for partial dynamic reconfiguration already support the fine-grained description of interaction between the partial modules. We propose both an online and an offline method for automatically generating interconnect according to such communication constraints, aiming at a low resource usage. The online algorithm determines an appropriate port assignment for the partial modules by means of a greedy approach and exploits port overlaps. The offline algorithm employs simulated annealing in order to find a proper port assignment and also incorporates the scheme for exploiting port overlaps. Constraint-generated interconnect requires significantly less resources than a crossbar, even if only a random port assignment is used. Proper port assignment by the online method reduces these requirements by an additional 10%, and using the offline method reduces them by an additional 30% on average. Online port assignment is faster than the offline method by several orders of magnitude. The interconnect generation tool introduced in this work takes textual input of communication constraints and automatically generates a corresponding hardware description in VHDL. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
