Summary:A reconfigurable computing system for enabling high performance computing includes a host platform running an operating system (OS), a reconfigurable processing kernel module, a plurality of drivers interacting with the OS, one or more reconfigurable hardware modules, and a software stack interacting with the OS and providing access to the reconfigurable hardware. The reconfigurable processing kernel module manages reconfigurable processes and coordinates data transfer to and from host. In addition, the reconfigurable processing kernel modifies the OS to utilize the software stack, thereby enabling the use of reconfigurable hardware modules through the use of hardware specific driver instructions.
