Partially reconfigurable interconnection network for dynamically reprogrammable resource array
Muhammad Ali Shami, Ahmed Hemani · 2009
This paper describes an innovative regular non-blocking, point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, low latency interconnection network scheme with sliding window connectivity, which allows arbitrary parallelism among large sub-systems. The area overhead of interconnect is only 30% of the chip area which is much smaller as compared to 80% in case of FPGA. The interconnection scheme is partially and dynamically reconfigurable. The configware is reduced 5.6 times by using binary encoding which allows energy efficient dynamic reconfiguration.
