Abstract
A method for preloading into a hierarchy of memories, bitstreams representing the configuration information for a reconfigurable processing system including several processing units. The method includes an off-execution step of determining tasks that can be executed on a processing unit subsequently to the execution of a given task. The method also includes, during execution of the given task, computing a priority for each of the tasks that can be executed. The priority depends on information relating to the current execution of the given task. The method also includes, during execution of the given task, sorting the tasks that can be executed in the order of their priorities. The method also includes, during execution of the given task, preloading into the memory, bitstreams representing the information of the configurations for the execution of the tasks that can be executed, while favoring the tasks whose priority is the highest.
