ABSTRACT

Adaptability is a mandatory aspect of modern digital designs to take care of fluctuating technology and application landscape. Consequently, System-onChip (SoC) designers are employing flexible solutions for sub-systems, which include, among others, partially reconfigurable processors [1]. Such processors can take advantage of both pre-fabrication and post-fabrication flexibility [2] through the programmable Instruction-Set Architecture (ISA) and the fine/coarse-grained reconfigurable fabric. The reconfigurable fabric allows even dynamic reconfiguration to maximally synchronize the architecture with the application.
