Enabling Technologies for Reconfigurable Computing and Software / Configware Co-Design  Part 3:Resources for RC- Reiner Hartenstein University of Kaiserslautern Schedule Opportunities by new patent laws ? to clever guys being keen on patents: don‘t file for patent following details ! everything shown in this presentation has been published years ago Configware Industry Configware Industry Terminology MoPL data-procedural language Anti architecture and circuitry Stream-based Memory Architecture Configware heading for mainstream Configware market taking off for mainstream FPGA-based designs more complex, even SoC No design productivity and quality without good configware libraries (soft IP cores) from various application areas. Growing no. of independent configware houses (soft IP core vendors) and design services AllianceCORE Reference Design Alliance Currently the top FPGA vendors are the key innovators and meet most configware demand.
