In addition, to foster further development into Reconfigurable
Logic (RL) coprocessors, we have suggested that both the industry
and the academia join hands to come up with open source FPGA
architectures and programming tools. Currently, there exist no
open source simulators that support run-time reconfiguration and
run-time partial reconfiguration. Research into device level FPGA
simulators would be greatly useful to both academia and industry
and thus should be pursued. We predict with high confidence that
such research will provide great impetus in developing open source
compilation and synthesis tools. This will further the integration of
such RL coprocessors with applications spanning from embedded
systems, general purpose computing to High Performance Comput-
