Information about Software (disambiguation)
Software can refer to:
- Computer software refers to procedural programs to schedule instruction streams on computers, as opposed to hardware, referring to the computers themselves and other physical components, and, as opposed to Configware and Flowware used for non-instruction-stream-based programming of Reconfigurable computing systems.
- Any data processed with hardware such as data on a static recording medium or an active electronic signal.
- IEEE Software, a magazine.
- Software, part of the Ware Tetralogy, a 1982 cyber-punk novel by Rudy Rucker.
- Clothing, in retailing.
- Rubber gaskets and seals, made of material "softer" than metal connections, in mechanical engineering.

Configware (Configuration Ware) is the program source for morphware, i. e. for reconfigurable platforms like FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays), or, to coarse- grained reconfigurable platforms like reconfigurable datapath arrays (rDPAs).

Reconfigurable computing is computer processing with very flexible high speed computing fabrics. The principal difference when compared to using ordinary microprocessors is the ability to make substantial changes to the data path itself in addition to the control flow.
