“…However, this work focused more on the distributed access to the configuration port (ICAP), allowing to accelerate the reconfiguration process compared to the centralized access, without giving details about the used control components (monitoring, decisions, etc). In [4] [5], the authors propose a general model of networked entities, handling each computing, monitoring, control and communication. Nevertheless, the decision of reconfiguring such entities is done in a centralized way.…”

Due to the growing complexity of the applications targeted by FPGA-based reconfigurable systems, the control design of such systems is becoming one of the main hurdles faced by designers. In this paper, we propose a semi-distributed control model based on the separation between different control concerns (monitoring, decision-making and reconfiguration) and on formalism-oriented design in order to decrease the design complexity of the control, and facilitate design verification, reuse and scalability. This model is composed of distributed controllers handling each the self-adaptivity of a reconfigurable region of the system, and a coordinator that coordinates their reconfiguration decisions in order to respect global system constraints. Implementations on FPGA showed that our semi-distributed control model is more flexible, reusable and scalable than the centralized one, at the cost of a slight increase in required hardware resources.
