Abstract
A system for executing an application on a pool of reconfigurable processors with first and second reconfigurable processors having first and second architectures that are different from each other is presented. The system comprises an archive of configuration files with first and second configuration files for executing the application on the first and second reconfigurable processors, respectively, and a host system that is operatively coupled to the first and second reconfigurable processors. The host system comprises a runtime processor that allocates reconfigurable processors for executing the application and an auto-discovery module that is configured to perform discovery of whether the reconfigurable processors include at least one of the first reconfigurable processors and whether the reconfigurable processors include at least one of the second reconfigurable processors. The runtime processor starts execution of the first and second configuration files in dependence upon the discovery of the auto-discovery module.
