==Partial re-configuration==
'''Partial re-configuration''' is the process of changing a portion of reconfigurable hardware [[circuitry]] while the other partportion iskeeps stillits running/operatingformer configuration. [[Field programmable gate array]]s are often used as a support to partial reconfiguration.
 
[[Electronic hardware]], like [[software]], can be designed modularly, by creating subcomponents and then higher-level components to instantiate them. In many cases it is useful to be able to swap out one or several of these subcomponents while the FPGA is still operating.
