چکیده
This paper introduces MorphoSys, a parallel system-on-chip which combines a RISC processor with an array of coarse-grain reconfigurable cells. MorphoSys integrates the flexibility of general-purpose systems and high performance levels typical of application-specific systems. Simulation results presented here show significant performance enhancements for different classes of applications, as compared to conventional architectures.

متن کاملAutomatic Compilation to a Coarse-grained Reconfigurable System-on-Chip
The rapid growth of device densities on silicon has made it feasible to deploy reconfigurable hardware as a highly parallel computing platform. However, one of the obstacles to the wider acceptance of this technology is its programmability. The application needs to be programmed in hardware description languages or an assembly equivalent, whereas most application programmers are used to the alg...
متن کاملThe MorphoSys Dynamically Reconfigurable System-on-Chip
MorphoSys is a system-on-chip which combines a RISC processor with an array of reconfigurable cells. The important features of MorphoSys are coarse-grain granularity, dynamic reconfigurability and considerable depth of programmability. The first implementation of the MorphoSys architecture, the M1 chip, is currently at an advanced stage and it will operate at 100 MHz. Simulation results indicat...
