Abstract :
Array-based coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures offer much potential to provide highly parallel application execution. While data-based applications are supported efficiently, control-based applications mostly overwhelm the array capabilities and require new techniques to be supported in proper way. This contribution presents an array-based reconfigurable architecture which offers a set of new features like multi-grained data types, multi-context data paths, dynamic online-routing and programmable IO-interfaces with intention to improve the application appropriateness
