Abstract(in English) As mobile devices have many functions, these are required to be more performance and low-power computation. Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor Array(DRPA) is received an attention as a way to accomplish these requirements. Applications executed on DRPA is described by high-level programming languages such as C. Despite many compilers for DRPA developed in the past is focused on performance of execution, compiler focused to be low-power execution have not been researched. In this paper, we propose low-power orientetd mapping algorithm for DRPA compiler. Our algorithm can reduce power consumption by minimizing number of re-configuration. Start from existing mapping generated by normal compiler, our algorithm re-maps operations and operands to array of Processing Element not to be exchanged as possible. We evaluated our algorithm using prototype chip of DRPA MuCCRA-3, developed in our laboratory. Compared with normal mapping algorithm, our algorithm can reduce consuming power in 10.6%.
