Benchmarking Technology for Configurable Computing System

A configurable computing system refers to a system that can be changed in basic computational structure, either statically or dynamically, without adding physical hardware devices. In its current realizations, such a system consists of a set of general-purpose processors augmented with a set of coprocessors, such as uncommitted Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). An overview of current configurable computing technology can be found in a recent article [1].
