Abstract. To answer new challenges, systems on chip need to gain flexibility and fpgas need to gain structure. We propose a general framework for SoC architectures and software tools in which different kind of processing units are programmed at high level. We show a reconfigurable unit suitable for this framework and we draw the outline of a supercompiler able to address such an architecture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
