One of the key future challenges for reconfigurable computing is to enable higher design productivity and a more easy way to use\nreconfigurable computing systems for users that are unfamiliar with the underlying concepts. One way of doing this is to provide\nstandardization and abstraction, usually supported and enforced by an operating system.This article gives historical review and a\nsummary on ideas and key concepts to include reconfigurable computing aspects in operating systems.The article also presents an\noverview on published and available operating systems targeting the area of reconfigurable computing. The purpose of this article\nis to identify and summarize common patterns among those systems that can be seen as de facto standard. Furthermore, open\nproblems, not covered by these already available systems, are identified.
