Abstract
A hardware task manager for an adaptive computing system. The adaptive computing system includes a plurality of computing nodes including an execution unit configured to execute tasks. An interconnection network is operatively coupled to the plurality of computing nodes to provide interconnections among the plurality of computing nodes. The hardware task manager manages execution of the tasks by the execution unit.
