SCORE (Stream Computation Organized for Reconfigurable Execution) is a computation and programming model designed to exploit dynamically reconfigurable hardware transparently using compiler and operating system support. SCORE targets a hardware environment featuring a conventional microprocessor and a reconfigurable coprocessor (e.g. FPGA). The compute model is a process network variant, inspired by dynamic data-flow and Petri nets. Programming in SCORE is done using a combination of C++ and a custom language, TDF. This document describes the computational model, languages, and programming disciplines of SCORE.
