Liquid Metal: Object-Oriented Programming Across the Hardware/Software Boundary
[chapter]
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The paradigm shift in processor design from monolithic processors to multicore has renewed interest in programming models that facilitate parallelism. While multicores are here today, the future is likely to witness architectures that use reconfigurable fabrics (FPGAs) as coprocessors. FPGAs provide an unmatched ability to tailor their circuitry per application, leading to better performance at lower power. Unfortunately, the skills required to program FPGAs are beyond the expertise of skilled
