Using Run-time Reconfiguration for Energy Savings in Parallel Data Processing

Purnaprajna M, Pohl C, Porrmann M, Rückert U. Using Run-time Reconfiguration for Energy Savings in Parallel Data Processing. In: Proceedings of the International Conference on Engineering of Reconfigurable Systems and Algorithms, ERSA'09, July 13-16, 2009, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. 2009: 119-125.Parallelism and adaptability are two distinct architectural design considerations in embedded processors. Multicore processors accelerate application execution on account of their inherent parallelism and run-time reconfiguration capabilities add adaptability during infield deployment. To benefit from both these features, a reconfigurable multiprocessor architectur
