Pipeline morphing and virtual pipelines

. Pipeline morphing is a simple but effective technique for reconfiguringpipelined FPGA designs at run time. By overlapping computationand reconfiguration, the latency associated with emptying andrefilling a pipeline can be avoided. We show how morphing can be appliedto linear and mesh pipelines at both word-level and bit-level, and explainhow this method can be implemented using Xilinx 6200 FPGAs. We alsopresent an approach using morphing to map a large virtual pipeline ontoa small...
