Quick index:

• Generally useful CS/EE resources
• University groups involved in reconfigurable computing
• Companies involved in reconfigurable computing
• Other resources specific to reconfigurable computers

• The Unified Computer Science TR Index is often a good starting place, although is a bit thin for seriously researching a topic.
• Of course, Yahoo's CS section has many useful resources, including most of those listed here.
• A page of FPGA-related WWW sites.
• The IEEE Computer Society sponsors the FCCM conference.
• VHDL
  • The International VHDL user's group.
  • The VHDL Technology group.
  • Search Yahoo for VHDL.

• BYU's Reconfigurable Logic Lab has an excellent set of pages including a Reconfigurable Logic Bibliography and a page of links to other WWW resources related to reconfigurable logic systems.
• Berkely's BRASS project seems to be a recent addition.
• MIT's Reinventing Computing home page seems to be part of the larger Transit Project.
• MIT also is home to the Virtual Wires Project.
• The Splash project continues at Virginia Tech.
• The Oxford University Computing Lab has some cool stuff about hardware-software codesign.

• X Engineering Software Systems offers some products relating to what they call elastic computing.
• Metalithic Systems, Inc. seems to have a hot new RC product: Digital Wings for Audio. Although their Web site still needs some work, they do have a page of contact information.
• Xilinx (the fathers of FPGA technology) have a page about their Reconfigurable Computing Developers Program.
• Xilinx has the new superbad 6200-series FPGAs that are ideal for RC.
• Virtual Computer has been around for a while developing RC products.
• Altera (the other FPGA company) has a small RC research program.
• Chromatic Research has taken a different, DSP approach to reconfigurable computing, with MPACT!.
• Annapolis Micro Systems is aparently developing Wildfire, a family of Xilinx FPGA based reconfigurable computing engines. Although they don't seem to have a Web page, there is a page of information about them, and you should be able to contact them:
