Reconfigurable computing is defined as a computer having hardware that can be reconfigured to implement application-specific functions. Though originally proposed in the 1960s, it only started to find its way into commercial computing systems in the 2000s. This has been due to the rapid advances in Field Programmable Gate Arrays, or FPGAs. | Reconfigurable computing is defined as a computer having hardware that can be reconfigured to implement application-specific functions.
