CRC – Concepts and Evaluation of Processor-Like Reconfigurable Architectures (CRC – Konzepte und Bewertung prozessorartig rekonfigurierbarer Architekturen)

The CRC project focuses on the utilization of fast reconfiguration to optimize area, performance, and power. The results are quantified by a synthesizable architecture model and by a commercial architecture. In order to assure good applicability of the research, a C-compiler is co-developed with the architecture. This article provides an overview of the optimization techniques and a summary of current evaluation results.
