| Popis: | 93 Today, “Information Technology (IT)” develops very fast, and microprocessors play more and more important roles in IT industry. Improving the performance of them is very important. Otherwise, the cost of mask is more and more expansive. How to reuse macro transistors is becoming more important for the IC design. Thus, the reconfigurable processor may be a solution. We design a run-time reconfigurable superscalar processor which can do hardware and software co-execution. Our design integrates a reconfigurable hardware with a traditional superscalar processor by replacing the traditional function units to a 4 by 4 coarse-grained reconfigurable component array. The behavior of the reconfigurable component array will be like tradition function units in the normal execution (software) and like ASICs in the reconfigurable computing execution (hardware). By combining with reconfigurable hardware, this run-time reconfigurable superscalar processor will be more flexible and more efficient then a traditional superscalar processor. |
