Coarse grained reconfigurable array (CGRA) is an architecture which offers hardware like high performance and software like flexibility. The two characteristics make CGRA an effective candidate for computational intensive applications. In this paper, we propose a novel cluster base CGRA architecture which achieves high efficiency of CGRA. The reconfigurable processing elements in CGRA clusters share complex function units and registers. Area is reduced due to the resource sharing and the performance is improved. Besides, an ant colony based mapping algorithm is proposed. Experiments show that the cluster base CGRA outperforms some existing architectures in the efficiency; the proposed mapping algorithm also outperforms other mapping heuristics. |
