reconfigurable hardware

Reconfigurable hardware refers to electronic components, like FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), that can be modified after manufacturing to perform different tasks. Unlike fixed chips designed for specific functions, reconfigurable hardware can be reprogrammed to adapt to new applications or improve performance, offering flexibility and efficiency. This ability allows devices to be updated or customized without replacing physical hardware, making them ideal for applications requiring versatility, rapid prototyping, or long-term upgrades.
