''Proc. Western Joint Computer Conf.'', Western Joint Computer Conference, New York, 1960, pp. 33–40.</ref> The main processor would control the behavior of the reconfigurable hardware. The latter would then be tailored to perform a specific task, such as image processing or pattern matching, as quickly as a dedicated piece of hardware. Once the task was done, the hardware could be adjusted to do some other task. This resulted in a hybrid computer structure combining the flexibility of software with the speed of hardware.
In the 1980s and 1990s there was a renaissance in this area of research with many proposed reconfigurable architectures developed in industry and academia,<ref name="Bobda2007">C. Bobda: Introduction to Reconfigurable Computing: Architectures; Springer, 2007</ref> such as: Copacobana, Matrix,
