Abstract :
A dynamic coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture which targets computationally intensive applications like multimedia and wireless applications is presented. Fundamental features of the architecture are an interconnection matrix, switch buffers, functional units, and a controller. Important aspects of the architecture is dynamic datapath reconfiguration over each control step of the application. Simulations of several classes of applications with results are also presented. Results of Xilinx Virtex 4 Implementations are provided
