This paper presents a Network-on-Chip based distributed partitionable memory system for a Dynamic Reconfigurable Resource Array (DRRA). The main purpose of this design is to extend the Register File (RFile) interface with additional data handling capability. The proposed interconnect which enables the interaction between existing partition of computation fabric and the distributed memory system is programmable and partitionable. The system can modify its memory to computation element ratio at runtime. The interconnect can provide multiple interfaces that can support up to 8 GB/s per interface.
