Abstract

Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor (DRP) developed by NEC Electronics is a coarse grain reconfigurable processor that selects a data path from the on-chip repository of sixteen circuit configurations, or contexts, to implement different logic on one single DRP chip. The impact of time-multiplexed execution to performance and cost is analyzed based on real designs including an IPsec router. The Parallelism Diagram which shows the required PEs in each step of the algorithm is introduced as the basis of the analysis, and models for performance and cost are shown. Evaluation results show that the time-multiplexed execution improves the performance per cost around 4.5 to 14 times than that of the case without time-multiplexed execution.
