X4CP32: A Coarse Grain General Purpose Reconfigurable Microprocessor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The X4CP32 is a novel coarse RPU runtimereconfigurable general purpose microprocessor. It consists of 3 programming levels, based on a hierarchic array of easily and quickly reconfigurable entities. It brings a new concept of runtime reconfiguration and programming, which is it’s main strength. Although it’s effectiveness in heavy arithmetic applications, it is suited for virtually any task an application can demand, presenting as a solid option for a general purpose microprocessor.

An Embedded Reconfigurable IP Core with Variable Grain Logic Cell Architecture
Reconfigurable logic devices (RLDs) are classified as the fine-grained or coarse-grained type based on their basic logic cell architecture. In general, each architecture has its own advantage. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve a balance between the operation speed and implementation area in various applications. In the present paper, we propose a variable grain logic cell (VGLC) architectur...
