Abstract :
ReMAP is a reconfigurable architecture for accelerating and parallelizing applications within a heterogeneous chip multiprocessor (CMP). Clusters of cores share a common reconfigurable fabric adaptable for individual thread computation or fine-grained communication with integrated computation. ReMAP demonstrates significantly higher performance and energy efficiency than hard-wired communication-only mechanisms, and over allocating the fabric area to additional or more powerful cores.
