Data-Driven Regular Reconfigurable Arrays: Design Space Exploration and Mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents further enhancements to an environment for exploring coarse grained reconfigurable data-driven array architectures suitable to implement data-stream applications. The environment takes advantage of Java and XML technologies to enable architectural trade-off analysis. The flexibility of the approach to accommodate different topologies and interconnection patterns is shown by a first mapping scheme. Three benchmarks from the DSP scenario, mapped on hexagonal and grid architectures, are used to validate our approach and to establish comparison results.

Design and Evaluation of a Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Architecture
Coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures have become more attractive with the increasing requirement of more flexibility and higher performance in embedded systems design. In this paper, we suggest a design space exploration flow that enables effective optimization of reconfigurable architectures through SystemC Modeling. In the suggested flow, application-to-architecture mapping process tri...
متن کاملFast prototyping of reconfigurable architectures from a C program
Rapid evaluation and design space exploration at the algorithmic level are important issues in the design cycle. In this paper we propose an original area vs delay estimation methodology that targets reconfigurable architectures. Two main steps compose the estimation flow: i) the structural estimation which is technological independent and performs an automatic design space exploration and ii) ...

For a generic flexible efficient array antenna receiver platform a hierarchical reconfigurable tiled architecture has been proposed. The architecture provides a flexible reconfigurable solution, but partitioning, mapping, modelling and programming such systems remains an issue. A semantic model has been presented to allow the development of the model for the specification, design and implementa...
متن کاملComparison of various knowledge-driven and logistic-based mineral prospectivity methods to generate Cu and Au exploration targets Case study: Feyz-Abad area (North of Lut block, NE Iran)
Motivated by the recent successful results of using GIS modeling in a variety of problems related to the geosciences, some knowledge-based methods were applied to a regional scale mapping of the mineral potential, special for Cu-Au mineralization in the Feyz-Abad area located in the NE of Iran. Mineral Prospectivity Mapping (MPM) is a multi-step process that ranks a promising target area for mo...
