Dynamic reconfiguration allows the circuit configured on an FPGA to be optimized to the required function and performance constraints. Traditionally, designers used dynamic reconfiguration to increase the speed or decrease the area of their system. This chapter considers a variety of use models for lowering the power requirements of dynamically reconfigurable processor systems. We begin with a review of FPGA reconfiguration and the applications that have been applied to it so far. We then describe the tool flow for reconfiguration and expand the discussion, first, to present experimental results from the literature that characterize the power-profile of reconfiguration itself and, second, to review system-level use models of dynamic reconfiguration that may improve the overall system power requirements.
