DYNAMIC RECONFIGURATION SUPPORTING METHOD, DYNAMIC RECONFIGURATION SUPPORTING APPARATUS, AND DYNAMIC RECONFIGURATION SYSTEM

摘要

A dynamic reconfiguration supporting method that generates a driver function to cause a dynamic reconfiguration circuit to execute a program of an application described in a predetermined language, includes acquiring a configuration defining file representing a configuration of a cluster of the dynamic reconfiguration circuit in execution of the process of the application, generating an address map representing an address of a processing element (to be referred to as "PE" hereinafter) in the cluster on the basis of the configuration defining file acquired by the acquiring operation, generating a driver function that associates the function and an address of the PE which executes the function with reference to the address map, when a PE which executes a function described in the application is allocated from the PE, and creating a driver function file that stores the driver function.
