Abstract
This chapter introduces the reader to main concepts of reconfigurable computing and reconfigurable hardware. Different types of reconfiguration are discussed. A detailed classification of reconfigurable architectures with respect to the granularity of their building blocks, the reconfiguration scheme and the system level coupling is also presented.
