Reconfigurable Computing(RC) is emerging as a viable alternative to traditional approaches for solving some classes of computational problems. It also shows the potential to offer a vastly improved performance/cost ratio when compared to these approaches. It has necessitated the development of some new concepts to widen its applicability and improve performance. One such concept is temporal partitioning. Temporal partitioning takes advantage of the reconfigurability of RC machines to re-use the same hardware over time to allow large applications to be executed on comparatively smaller hardware. Thus, whenever an application needs a logic area greater than that available in the RC machine, it is temporally partitioned into smaller segments each of which can fit into the available logic area. These segments are then executed in the correct sequential order on the same RC machine to get the final results. However, performance degradation is a major drawback of this technique. In this thesis, we examine the factors causing this degradation, such as the reconfiguration overhead between partitions, the data communication overhead between partitions etc. We also develop a temporal partitioning framework to minimize this degradation. This framework is quite flexible and can accommodate a variety of partitioning objectives.
