PANDA DAQT and FrontEnd Electronics Workshop, Rauischholzhausen Castle

Partial Reconfiguration (PR) offers the possibility to adaptively change part of the FPGA design without stopping the remaining system. Based on PR technology, we present a comprehensive framework for adaptive computing, in which design key points of hardware processes, system interconnections, Operating Systems (OS), device drivers, scheduler software as well as context switching are respectively concerned in different hardware/software layers. Technical perspectives are analyzed and it is foreseen to obtain great benefits with the proposed design framework for DAQ and triggering in nuclear and particle physics experiments.
