Polymorphous computer architectures (PCA) are new computer architectures being developed under a DARPA/IPTO program to support mission agility for future high performance DoD embedded applications. These new architectures will have the ability to "morph" into different modes of execution with the goal of delivering uniform, high performance across a large variety of different processing types and workload compositions. Examples of these architectures include the MIT RAW machine, the Stanford Smart memories project, and the University of Texas TRIPS machine.
