The FASTER project Run-Time System Manager offloadsprogrammers from low-level operations by performing taskplacement, scheduling, and dynamic FPGA reconfiguration.It also manages device fragmentation, configuration caching,pre-fetching and reuse, bitstream compression, and optimizesthe system thermal and power footprints. We propose amicro-reconfiguration aware, configuration content agnosticISA interface and a technology independent Task ConfigurationMicrocode format targeting Maxeler Data Flow computersand Xilinx XUPV5 platforms. We achieve improvedresource utilization with negligible performance overhead.Up to 4Gbps for DMA transfers, and up to 3Gbps for FPGAreconfiguration on Xilinx Virtex-5/6 devices is achieved.
