چکیده
To answer new challenges, systems on chip need to gain flexibility and fpgas need to gain structure. We propose a general framework for SoC architectures and software tools in which different kind of processing units are programmed at high level. We show a reconfigurable unit suitable for this framework and we draw the outline of a supercompiler able to address such an architecture.

Automatic Design Exploration Framework for Multicores with Reconfigurable Accelerators
Despite their promising improvements in performance and power efficiency, the possibilities of reconfigurable computing in multiprocessor environments are still mainly unexplored. This paper presents a new framework for rapid testing of multicores with application-specific reconfigurable accelerators. The design exploration is a multi-step flow that performs automatic generation of fine-grained...
متن کاملCompiling Geometric Algebra Computations into Reconfigurable Hardware Accelerators
Geometric Algebra (GA), a generalization of quaternions and complex numbers, is a very powerful framework for intuitively expressing and manipulating the complex geometric relationships common to engineering problems. However, actual processing of GA expressions is very compute intensive, and acceleration is generally required for practical use. GPUs and FPGAs offer such acceleration, while req...
متن کاملExperimental Support for Reconfigurable Application-Specific Accelerators
New computer architectures are being proposed and will be implanted in the next few years. A common trend to improve the system performance is to include some reconfigurable logic components into future multi-core chips. Several prototypes already exist but there still is a lack of support from the programming models, the compilers and the operating system. Reconfigurable architectures enable a...
متن کاملAutomatic hardware generation for the Molen reconfigurable architecture: a G721 case study
The advantages of the reconfigurable technology in terms of performance have been widely recognized. However, programming reconfigurable systems and designing hardware accelerators for them is not a trivial task. The Molen paradigm provides an easy to use approach to couple a General Purpose Processor (GPP) with custom designed reconfigurable accelerators both at program level and at hardware d...
متن کاملImplementation of VlSI Based Image Compression Approach on Reconfigurable Computing System - A Survey
Image data require huge amounts of disk space and large bandwidths for transmission. Hence, imagecompression is necessary to reduce the amount of data required to represent a digital image. Thereforean efficient technique for image compression is highly pushed to demand. Although, lots of compressiontechniques are available, but the technique which is faster, memory efficient and simple, surely...
