== Challenges for operating systems ==

One of the key challenges for reconfigurable computing is to enable higher design productivity and a more easy way to use reconfigurable computing systems for users that are unfamiliar with the underlying concepts. One way of doing this is to provide standardization and abstraction, usually supported and enforced by an operating system.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Eckert|first=Marcel|last2=Meyer|first2=Dominik|last3=Haase|first3=Jan|last4=Klauer|first4=Bernd|date=2016-11-30|title=Operating System Concepts for Reconfigurable Computing: Review and Survey|url=httphttps://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2016/2478907|journal=International Journal of Reconfigurable Computing|language=en|volume=2016|pages=1–11|doi=10.1155/2016/2478907|issn=1687-7195}} [[File:CC-BY icon.svg|50px]] This article contains quotations from this source, which is available under the [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)] license.</ref>

One of the major tasks of an operating system is to hide the hardware and present programs (and their programmers) with nice, clean, elegant, and consistent abstractions to work with instead. In other words, the two main tasks of an operating system are abstraction and resource management.<ref name=":0" />
