Domain Adaptive Processor Architectures

The ongoing megatrends in industry and academia like the Internet ofThings (IoT), the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems(CPS) present the developers of modern computer architectures with variouschallenges. A novel class of processors which provide more data throughputwith a simultaneously tremendously reduced energy consumption are required asa backbone for these “Things”. Additionally, the requirements of CPS like realtime, reliability, dependability, safety, and security are gaining in importance inthese applications. This paper shows a brief overview of novel processor architecturesproviding high flexibility to adapt during design- and runtime to changingrequirements of the application and the internal and external system status.
