Performance evaluation modeling for reconfigurable processor

Performance evaluation is very important for reconfigurable processor, for we can estimate the approximate performance before we actually run a program on the system hardware. In this paper, we try to find a new method to evaluate the system performance by simply analyzing the configuration contexts. With a C++ evaluation model constructed, we can extract the effective information from the configuration files and get the system performance rapidly, based on careful timing analysis. Experiments show that the evaluation model´s results and the simulation results match fairly well, and time cost will also be saved significantly, especially when the computing task grows more complex.
