Abstract

This paper presents our dynamically reconfigurable processor (DRP) and its compiler. We first introduce our DRP architecture, which is suitable for both parallelizable and control-intensive code segments since it has a stand-alone finite state machine that switches "contexts" consisting of many processing elements (PEs). Then, some optimization techniques used in the compiler are explained, such as a loop pipelining, iterative synthesis technique to shorten wire delay, and a technique to achieve higher area efficiency by utilizing the benefit of having multiple contexts. Lastly, two products are shown as application examples.
