New Advances in Reconfigurable Computing and its Applications

In this work we present a survey of different papers about reconfigurable computing and its applications. These papers treat very different reconfigurable-computing applications: cryptography, computer vision, SOPC, microprocessor architecture, self-timed circuits, sensor systems, detection of ultrasonic emissions, FPGA compilation aspects (like data-dependent loops), and motion estimation. As conclusion, we can say that reconfigurable computing is becoming an increasingly important computing paradigm, being a good alternative for many real applications.
