Abstract: A method and System on Chip (SoC) for adapting a runtime reconfigurable hardware to decode a video stream, wherein the video stream is of one of a plurality of video types is disclosed. The method includes determining a video type of the video stream and identifying at least one functional block of a set of functional blocks in the runtime reconfigurable hardware in response to determining the video type. A functional block of the set of functional blocks corresponds to a decoding sub function of the video type. Thereafter, the method configures the one or more functional block based on a plurality of configuration parameters of the video type. Further, the method decodes the video stream using the one or more functional blocks in response of configuring the one or more functional block.

Abstract: A method and System on Chip (SoC) for adapting a reconfigurable hardware for an application at run time is provided. The method includes obtaining a plurality of application substructures corresponding to the application. An application substructure performs one or more of a plurality of functions of the application. The method further includes retrieving compute metadata and transport metadata corresponding to each application substructure. Compute metadata specifies functionality of an application substructure and transport metadata specifies data flow path of an application substructure. Thereafter, the method maps each application substructure to a corresponding set of tiles in the hardware. The set of tiles includes one or more tiles and a tile performs one or more of a plurality of functions of the application.
