上坡

The Blocks Framework,e generated based on XML files. These hardware implementations can be synthesized either for functional verification on FPGAs or as a full ASIC implementation. A compiler for Blocks is still in development. However, Blocks can be programmed with a special Assembler language called PASM.

Crumple

Energy, Area, and Performance Evaluation,esized and placed and routed using a 40 nm low-power technology node. The results show that Blocks significantly reduces reconfiguration overhead even when compared to an already optimized, but more traditional, CGRA. Blocks reduces reconfiguration energy overhead between 46% and 76% (average 60%).

Conducive

Architectural Model,ocks instances. For area, the model has an error margin between −4% and +4% for hard-wired Blocks instances and −2% for reconfigurable instances. For reconfigurable architectures the model execution time is less than eight seconds, whereas a synthesis run takes over two hours to complete. Thus, the
