since the beginning of the FPGA technology, Xilinx has pushed the boundaries of reconfiguration . In earlier FPGA families, it was only possible to reconfigure the whole FPGA. With the introduction of the Virtex FPGA families, it became possible to partially configure an FPGA. It is also now possible to reconfigure a remote FPGA via the internet using Xilinx internet Reconfigurable Logic (IRL) technology. However, only a few companies a few of all FPGA designs make use of IRL technology, because of the perception it is expensive, complicated, and mostly a proprietary solution.
