Abstract

Reconfigurable mixed grain (ReCoM) is a novel reconfigurable compute fabric (RCF) architecture based on a mixed-grain reconfigurable array which combines a RISC microprocessor and a reconfigurable hardware for computation-intensive applications. ReCoM comprises a modified RISC microprocessor, a dynamically reconfigurable processing array including reconfigurable cells formed by a 64-bits ALU, look up tables (LUTs), word-level arithmetic units, and an efficient configuration and data memory architecture. This paper describes the ReCoM architecture and presents its effectiveness for a digital signal processing benchmark application
