Description
Reconfigurable Computing Systems Engineering: Virtualization of Computing Architecture describes the organization of reconfigurable computing system (RCS) architecture and discusses the pros and cons of different RCS architecture implementations. Providing a solid understanding of RCS technology and where it's most effective, this book:
Details the architecture organization of RCS platforms for application-specific workloads
Covers the process of the architectural synthesis of hardware components for system-on-chip (SoC) for the RCS
Explores the virtualization of RCS architecture from the system and on-chip levels
Presents methodologies for RCS architecture run-time integration according to mode of operation and rapid adaptation to changes of multi-parametric constraints
Includes illustrative examples, case studies, homework problems, and references to important literature
A solutions manual is available with qualifying course adoption.
Reconfigurable Computing Systems Engineering: Virtualization of Computing Architecture offers a complete road map to the synthesis of RCS architecture, exposing hardware design engineers, system architects, and students specializing in designing FPGA-based embedded systems to novel concepts in RCS architecture organization and virtualization.

Reviews / Votes
"Other texts having a similar focus tend to become entangled in technical details relating to a particular programming language, set of computer aided design tools, or device technology. As a result, these texts usually have a relatively short shelf life before they become obsolete. This text, on the other hand, is unique in that it stays within the realm of concepts and top-level design analysis and methodology, allowing it to be, and remain, applicable and relevant over a wide range of technologies."-Dr. Jason D. Bakos, University of South Carolina, Columbia, USA
"The systematic representation of material, the detailed discussion of the main concepts, and the analysis of pros/cons of different approaches in architecture virtualization and static and dynamic integration will make this book very useful for engineers and students specializing in the development and design of field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based reconfigurable computing systems."
-From the Foreword by Dr. Karen Safaryan, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Unique Broadband Systems, Ltd. and Director of R&D and Engineering, UBS-Axcera, Inc. Canada

Person
Lev Kirischian, Ph.D, P.Eng, Member IEEE, has been affiliated with Ryerson University, Canada for 18 years. His research involves dynamically reconfigurable computing systems, automated architectural synthesis of data-stream processors, and workload-adaptive and self-healing reconfigurable architectures. He participated in the research and development of the first-generation Soviet supercomputers with reconfigurable architectures in the 1980s, FPGA-based segment of COFDM modulation technology for digital audio/video broadcasting systems for satellite and terrestrial networks (used in the SiriusXM satellite radio network), workload adaptive and self-restorable space-borne embedded computer platforms, and 3D-panoramic machine vision systems, among other technologies. In the last decade, he has developed and taught several courses associated with high-performance and reconfigurable computing as well as high-level synthesis of application-specific processors.
