We present a new approach for reconfigurable massively parallel computers. The approach uses FPGA as reconfigurable device to build parallel computers which can adapt their physical topology to match the virtual topology used to model the parallel computation paradigm of a given application. We use a case study in which a virtual ring topology is first simulated on a tree topology and then directly implemented in an FPGA configuration. Preliminary results show that we can increase the performance of the parallel computers which make use of message passing interface by afactor of up to 20 % if a reconfigurable topology approach is used.
