Abstract:
A new layered reconfigurable architecture is proposed which exploits modularity, scalability and flexibility to
achieve high energy efficiency and memory bandwidth. Functional
Reconfiguration theoretical concepts are proposed to describe
this kind of architectures, based on concepts from functional
programming theory. A high-level design methodology is adapted
and modified to allow easy design, testing and simulation. The
architectural concepts are tested on an application domain and
several tools are created to partially automate application mapping flow and system integration. Moreover, due to its inherent 3D
structure of the proposed architecture, physical implementation
into 3D silicon is attempted.
