The Kiwi project aims to make reconfigurable computing technology including Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) more accessible to mainstream programmers. FPG As have a huge potential for quickly performing many interesting computations in parallel but their exploitation by computer programmers is limited by the need to think like a hardware engineer and the need to use hardware description languages rather than conventional programming languages.

David will descripe the multi-stage compilation process used in the KiwiC compiler and report on recent work to enable DLLs from an application to be allocated to different FPGA nodes interconnected by Ethernet.
