Abstract(in English) Recently, since a mobile device is required to provide various functions, a lot of specialized hardware modules must be embedded to fulfill required functions and performance. However, increasing number of embedded specialized hardware causes problems about developmental cost, area and power consumption. For solving these problems, Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor Array(DRPA)attracts attention as a flexible accelerator instead of specialized hardware. For using DRPAs instead of multiple specialized hardware, a single PE array often cannot support enough performance. That is, multi-core DRPA has become popular. In this study, we extended a DRPA MuCCRA-3 to a multi-core system, and evaluated its area and performance. By attaching a multi-task allocation mechanism, transfer buffer for cores, and shared memory to multiple MuCCRA-3 arrays, MuCCRA-3 Multicore(MuCCRA-3M)is formed. As a result of performance evaluation, 3-core MuCCRA-3M achieves about 2.7 times better performance than a single-core MuCCRA-3, by using pipelined task execution.
