TY  - JOUR
AB - This article presents an approach for mapping real-time applications based on particle filters (PFs) toheterogeneous reconfigurable systems, which typically consist of multiple FPGAs and CPUs. A method isproposed to adapt the number of particles dynamically and to utilise runtime reconfigurability of FPGAs forreduced power and energy consumption. A data compression scheme is employed to reduce communicationoverhead between FPGAs and CPUs. A mobile robot localisation and tracking application is developed toillustrate our approach. Experimental results show that the proposed adaptive PF can reduce up to 99% ofcomputation time. Using runtime reconfiguration, we achieve a 25% to 34% reduction in idle power. A 1Usystem with four FPGAs is up to 169 times faster than a single-core CPU and 41 times faster than a 1UCPU server with 12 cores. It is also estimated to be 3 times faster than a system with four GPUs.
