Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We developed the architecture to execute a fallback operation when a failure occurred. In this research, we designed FPGA hardware and CPU software by high level synthesis from the common behavioral description including pragmas. In case of FPGA failure, the CPU continues fallback process by release resources and the reconfiguration from lock-step to multi-core. We made a prototype of this system with a counter function on SoC-FPGA board. The designed FPGA bitstream size of the function was 25.2MB and the CPU binary size was 1.3KB. The transition time from the normal to the fallback operation was about 1.13ms, and the recovery time from the fallback to the normal operation with reconfiguring FPGA was about 120ms.
