This talk will present DARPA's Adaptive Computing Systems (ACS) program:

• Motivations

• Goals

• Principal challenges/metrics

• What has been/is being accomplished

• What needs to be done

• Lessons learned

• Participants/Products

• Roadmap

• ACS Challenge Problems.

Adaptive Computing Systems will enable the creation of hardware circuitry, using software, at runtime. Instead of creating an automatic target recognition system in software, a hardware instantiation is created using conventional programming languages. Indeed, it's full potential can be realized when the hardware is reconfigured "on-the-fly". This will provide the performance benefits of hardware with the flexibility of software.
