Abstract
This paper introduces reconfigurable computing (RC) and specifically chooses one of the prototypes in this field, MorphoSys (M1) from UCI. Mapping of different linear algebraic functions, namely vector-scalar operations, onto this hardware is proposed. A performance analysis study of the M1 RC is also presented to evaluate the efficiency of the algorithm execution on the M1 system. For instance, two algorithms on an 8×8 RC array M1 were run, and numerical examples were simulated to validate our results, using the MorphoSys mULATE program, which simulates MorphoSys operations.
