Advanced Tools and Techniques for Re-configurable Processor Architectures

Abstract

There have been tremendous advancements in the

processor architectures and tools used to manufacture and

reconfigure them. The problem of utilization wall, dark silicon,

hardware reconfiguration with code change has been the inspiring

factors for advancement in this field. All of these have been major

factors now a days for all type of microprocessor based electronic

projects and products which requires extensive and real time and

mobile computational power. Beside this efforts have been made to

reduce the communication overhead in major sections of code by

designing specialized hardware and to reduce the fetch decode

cycle by large extent. It has been proved in recent researches that

reducing these two types of communication delays and by tackling

the problem of dark silicon will improve power efficiency by 7x to
