Abstract:This paper presents various novel techniques for improving coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures. Specifically, it presents techniques for supporting IEEE single precision floating-point standard, efficient handling of loop carried dependency with variable-length FIFOs, efficient mapping of control flows, and sharing data with a host processor for transparent binary acceleration. Experiments with benchmark examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
