Mapping DSP Applications to a High-Performance Reconfigurable Coarse-Grain Data-Path

A high-performance reconfigurable coarse-grain data-path, part of a hybrid reconfigurable platform, is introduced. The data-path consists of coarse grain components that their flexibility and universality is shown to increase the system’s performance due to significant reductions in latency. An automated methodology for mapping applications on the proposed data-path is also presented. Results on DSP benchmarks show important performance improvements, up to 44%, over existing high-performance data-paths.
