A Survey of Reconfigurable Architectures
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new architecture type that is recently evolving is the reconfigurable architecture which combines the benefits of ASIPs (Application Specific Instruction Set Processors) and FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). Reconfigurable computing combines software flexibility with high performance hardware. FPGAs are generally employed to construct a reconfigurable block as it provides an instant time-to-market advantage. Reconfigurable devices like FPGA offers improved computational efficiency as compared to traditional processor architectures. Reconfigurable block in these architectures provides the required flexibility for a large variety of embedded applications. Design space exploration of reconfigurable block involves a wide range of alternatives like logic block granularity in FPGA, interconnect topology, etc. The goal of this paper is to explore the reconfigurable architectures.

This paper provides a survey on the existing proposals in the field of reconfigurable multithreading (ρMT) architectures. Until now, the reconfigurable architectures have been classified according to implementation or architectural criteria, but never based on their ρMT capabilities. More specifically, we identify reconfigurable architectures that provide implicit, explicit or no architectural ...

Optimizing FPGA architectures is one of the key challenges in digital design flow. Traditionally, FPGA designers make use of CAD tools for evaluating architectures in terms of the area, delay and power. Recently, analytical methods have been proposed to optimize the architectures faster and easier. A complete analytical power, area and delay model have received little attention to date. In addi...
