  Week 1 - A Bird's Eye View on Adaptive Computing Systems

  Week 1 will learn to give examples of different kinds of reconfigurations, to compare domains to understand if they can benefit from a “reconfigurable approach”, to describe the differences in between Programmable System-on-Chip and Programmable System-on-Multiple Chip and to learn the importance of FPGAs and of the reconfigurable computing technologies.
