As computation migrates to the edge, energy efficiency is becoming even more critical in the design of electronic devices. Therefore, new applications for the Internet of Things pose a challenge for designers to find the optimal balance between performance and energy consumption. While Coarse Grained Reconfigurable Architectures (CGRA) have been an alternative to provide the required acceleration, they are far from being the most energy-efficient, since their functional units may be underutilized by some applications. In this work, we introduce a novel approach to handle these CGRA resources, which leverages the variable usage of functional units due to the application program phases. By using our new approach and performing power-gating of under-utilized parts of the CGRA, we demonstrate that it is possible to achieve reductions of up to 52.3% in power dissipation and 75% in energy consumption. |
