Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Cool Mega-Array (CMA) is a novel high performance but low power reconfigurable accelerator consisting of a large PE(Processing Element) Array and small μ controller. Through the development of a prototype
system Cube which uses CMA as an off-load engine of a host processor Geyser, we found two problems. First, the power consumption of a μ controller is sometimes higher than that of PE array. Second, the time for data transfer with host CPU occupies a large part of the total execution time. In order to address these problems, we proposed a new architecture called CMA-Geyser. CMA-Geyser has CMA as a co-processor of Geyser. From another viewpoint, Geyser is used instead of the μ controller of traditional CMA. The evaluation result of CMA-Geyser shows that the area is reduced by 23.4% compared with Cube. The performance of CMA-Geyser is 3.90 times of Geyser, and 2.46 times of Cube. The power consumption of CMA-Geyser is reduced by 191mW than Cube.
