Abstract(in English) Recently, researches on coarse-grained reconfigurable hardware are studied hard, since such architecture needs less information at the configuration and is suitable for dynamic reconfiguration. Coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture also has a chance to implement the same functionality with small area, small delay time and low power compared to fine-grained reconfigurable hardware such as FPGA. Current coarse-grained hardware do not care about the chaining of additions/subtractions for consecutive additions/subtractions, which is effective to the fast execution of consecutive aditions/subtractions. They also do not care about the floating-point operations which might be major in the emulation of software algorithms. In the paper, we propose a new reconfigurable hardware architecture considering the mapping of the chaining of additions/subtractions and that of floating point operations. We also shows an LSI implementation of such architecture.
