By reconfiguration we can change either the functionality, performance or even energy consumption of an area on the FPGA. This property can be exploited in a number of ways, in different application areas. However, the question of performance and power consumption trade-off in these situations is still an open issue. In this paper we address this issue by investigating different use cases and introducing a general approach of algorithmic optimization of power consumption based on dynamic reconfiguration. Our findings are supported by extensive SystemC/TLM hardware level simulations. %G English %Z TC 6 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01587860/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01587860/file/978-3-642-23041-7_27_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01587860 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01587860 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-NETWORKING %~ IFIP-LNCS-6827
