Title
Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Architecture With Hierarchical Context Cache Structure And Management Approach
Abstract
This paper proposes a novel coarse-grained reconfigurable array ( CGRA) with hierarchical context cache structure and efficient cache management approaches, including time-frequency weighted (TFW) context cache replacement strategy and context multi-casting (CMC) mechanism. By fully exploiting inherent configuration features, the configuration performance is improved by 18.2% with half context memory cost. Our CGRA was implemented under the process of TSMC 65 nm, which can work at the frequency of 200MHz with the area of 23.2mm(2). Compared to the previous CGRAs, our work has the advantage of 3.8 similar to 12x performance improvement and 2.3 similar to 15.7x energy efficiency increase.
