DECODING RE-CONFIGURABLE PROCESSOR ARCHITECTURES

There have been significant advancements in the designs of processors and the tools used to produce and modify them. The issues related to using wall, dark silicon, and hardware reconfiguration along with code change have motivated progress in this area. These factorsare crucial for microprocessor-based electronic projects and products that need significant, real-time, and mobile computational power in today's world. Efforts have also been madetolower the communication overhead in key areas of code through the use of specializedhardware and significantly decrease the fetch decode cycle. Recent studies have demonstratedthat addressing both types of communication delays and addressing the issue of darksiliconcan enhance power efficiency by 7 to 1000 times.
