This chapter presents the Molen organization which is used as the way the processor and the reconfigurable devices will interact. Based on this organization, the Molen programmer's interfaces are presented and the way the compiler schedules the configuration and execution instructions is presented. We also present potential extensions based on OpenMP for parallel execution of the hardware kernels.
