The Berkeley Emulation Engine 2 (BEE2) project is developing a reusable, modular, and scalable framework for designing high-end reconfigurable computers, including a processing-module building block and several programming models. Using these elements, BEE2 can provide over 10 times more computing throughput than a DSP-based system with similar power consumption and cost and over 100 times that of a microprocessor-based system.
