Reconfigurable Extension for CarCore

Abstract:

Reconfigurable processing units promise to boost the performance of computational intensive applications. Thereby the kernel of an application is executed in the reconfigurable hardware instead of being executed in software. This report presents a reconfigurable extension for the CarCore embedded processor. The extension combines reconfigurability with simultaneous multithreading and real-time capabilities of the CarCore. The prototype implementation in SystemC shows an overall application speedup of 4 compared to a single threaded pure software execution.
