Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Register-transfer-level packet routing scheme is proposed for intra-chip data transfer to make the size of configuration memory for dynamically reconfigurable VLSI processors greatly reduced. Configuration memory reduction in the conventional dynamically reconfigurable parallel VLSI processor can be achieved based on semi-autonomous packet routing, where both autonomous packet data transfer and offline scheduling/allocation are effectively utilized. Dynamic reconfiguration of local memories is also introduced to utilize the control memory resources. According to requirement of the local memory capacity for each PE, partial crossbar switches are controlled by the packet destination address information. It is demonstrated that the packet-routing control storage capacity can be reduced to about 1/10 in some parallel processing example compared to the conventional dynamically reconfigurable VLSI.
