Abstract :
In this paper, we introduce automated architecture exploration challenge of reconfigurable AGU (Address Generation Unit) based on coarse grained reconfigurable architecture for effective address calculation. To use reconfigurable AGU effectively, it is important to specify its architecture from many architecture candidates. Introduced architecture exploration method enables to explore the vast solution space effectively, and we can obtain the optimal trade-off points about 164 times faster than the exhaustive search.
