Abstract
Coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures (CGRAs) emerge as a new class of hardware platforms, designed to bridge the gap of computational performance, hardware efficiency, and flexibility among conventional architectures such as Application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and Digital signal processors (DSPs). The strength of CGRAs lies in the capability of allocating hardware resources dynamically to accomplish current computational demands. In addition, hardware efficiency with respect to area and power consumption is substantially improved in comparison to FPGAs, thanks to the word-level data manipulations.
