With the advent of new types of programmable logic devices (PLDs), the process of digital system design has undergone a notable revision during the past few decades. Actually, many digital systems are implemented with the aidof high-capacity PLDs (FPGAs, in particular). The FPGA market continues to grow resulting in a wide variety of available devices. In this context the new concept of reconfigurable computing, to which this paper is devoted, has arisen. The main goal of this paper is to introduce the notion of reconfigurable computing, revealing its most important and innovative capacities, and helping the students of relevant disciplines to understand the basic ideas of reconfigurable computing. In order to accomplish this goal we represent a revision of various types of reconfigurable systems organization, namely different reconfiguration modes, coupling mechanisms, the programming model, etc. Then, some techniques that are usually employed in reconfigurable computing in order to achieve good performance are analyzed. Finally, a number of practical examples are discussed and typical application areas are presented.
