Abstract

We present an infrastructure for dynamic reconfiguration of heterogeneous coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures (CGRAs) based on our Gannet SoC platform. We introduce the infrastructure and in particular its domain-specific high-level programming language Gannet-C and discuss the language features that support dynamic reconfiguration and the way they are supported by the compiler and the hardware. We illustrate our approach with simulation results obtained using a cycle-approximate SystemC model of the Gannet platform.
