Abstract :
Dynamically reconfigurable SIMD/MIMD architectures made from simple cores have emerged to exploit diverse forms of parallelism in applications [1,2]. In this work, we investigate the circuit-level overhead and flexibility tradeoffs of such architectures through the design of a custom reconfigurable SIMD/MIMD system.
