چکیده
As a solution to gain high performance computation, a large-scale reconfigurable data-path (LSRDP) processor is introduced in this paper. LSRDP is implemented by virtue of single-flux quantum circuits and integrated to a general purpose processor to accelerate the execution of data flow graphs (DFGs) extracted from scientific applications. Design procedure of the LSRDP and particularly the process of mapping DFGs onto the LSRDP are discussed and our techniques for optimizing the area of accelerator will be presented as well. Keyword Reconfigurable accelerator, single-flux quantum, data flow graph, placement and routing
