Heterogeneous FPGA-based architectures dedicated to FOG / CLOUD systems design constitutes the focus of the EAST team’s research work. Thus, our work aims allowing dynamic allocation (on demand) hardware
areas to deploy tasks that can be light or high resources consumer, at runtime. These allocation and deployment steps must be transparent to users and programming of these architectures must be efficient
and as easy as possible. This is why EAST is interested in the development of languages, compilers and tools for the programming of Fog / Cloud architectures and the automation of the allocation and deployment
of hardware tasks, taking advantage of the possibilities of dynamic and partial reconfiguration.
