For applications such as live video processing, there is a high demand for high performance and low latency solutions. The configurable logic in FPGAs allows for custom hardware to be tailored to a specific video application. These FPGA designs require technical expertise and lengthy implementation times by vendor tools for each unique solution. This thesis presents a dynamically configurable topology as an FPGA overlay to deploy custom hardware processing pipelines during run-time by utilizing dynamic partial reconfiguration. Within the FPGA overlay, a configurable topology with a routable switch allows video streams to be copied and mixed to create complex data paths. This work demonstrates a dynamic video processing pipeline with 11 reconfigurable regions and 16 unique processing cores, allowing for billions of custom run-time configurations.
