1. Introduction: Goals and Organisation of the Lecture
   • Motivation, terms, sample applications
   • Lab-Exercise Concept
2. FPGA
   • Components and functionality of FPGAs
   • Differences between FPGA-Chips from different manufacturers
3. SoC
   • Characteristics, benefits, downsides
   • Components of SoC-Kits (HW, SW, Toolchain, Support-Tools)
   • Examples: Xilinx-XPS, SpartanMC-Kit
4. CGRA
   • Generic representation of CGRAs / distinction from FPGAs
   • Mapping of SW to CGRAs
   • Examples: ADRES, DRESC
5. Dynamic Re-Configurable Systems
   • Advantages of dynamic adaption
   • Approach, Profiling, Limits
   • Example: Warp / AMIDAR

• Lecture „Logic Design“
• Preferably Computer Systems I

Materials can be found in Moodle

The Lab-Exercise consists of two programming tasks. Good knowledge of C and Java is required. It is strongly recommended to work on the lab tasks because their contents may be part of the oral exam.
