Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A novel context control method and configuration control method are proposed for dynamically reconfigurable processor MuCCRA (Multi-Core Configurable Reconfigurable Array)-1. One proposal is "context indirect branch" that is a simple but efficient context control method. It is based on a context counter which is changeable with the data from the PE array working on the current context. Since no state transition diagram is needed, both the operational speed and cost are improved. Another proposal is "semi-symmetric configuration control" that uses double buffering mechanism as well as I/O control mechanism. By multicasting configuration data with RoMultiC mechanism, most of configuration loading time can be hidden by the execution. Synthesis results with Rohm's 0.18μm CMOS process, the area required for these control mechanisms are smaller than 3% of the total area.
