In this paper the authors represent a modified datapath merging technique to amortize the configuration latency of mapping datapaths on reconfigurable fabric in Run-Time Reconfigurable Systems (RTR). This method embeds together the different Data Flow Graphs (DFGs), corresponding to the loop kernels to create a single datapath (merged datapath) instead of multiple datapaths. The DFGs are merged in steps where each step corresponds to combining a DFG onto the merged datapath. Afterwards, the method combines the resources inside the merged datapath to minimize the configuration time by employing the maximum weighted clique technique.
