The book starts with an extensive evaluation of historic and existing CGRAs and their strengths and weaknesses. This also leads to a better understanding and new definition of what distinguishes CGRAs from other architectural approaches. The authors introduce Blocks as unique due to its separate programmable control and data paths, allowing light-weight instruction decode units to be arbitrarily connected to one or more functional units (FUs) over a statically configured interconnect. The discussion includes an explanation of how to model architectures, resulting in an area and energy model for Blocks. The accuracy of this model is evaluated against fully implemented architectures, showing that although it is three orders of magnitude faster than synthesis the error margin is very acceptable. The book concludes with a case study on a real System-on-Chip, including a RISC architecture, the Blocks CGRA and peripherals. Provides a comprehensive overview of many coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures (CGRAs) proposed in the last 25 years, as well as a classification of those CGRAs; Offers a new view on the positioning of CGRAs; Provides an in-depth description of structure of the Blocks CGRA and its unique aspects; Includes an extensive evaluation of various performance aspects of Blocks, such as performance, energy and area, as well as a comparison with various traditional approaches; Uses a case study showing how Blocks can be used in a real system on-chip, and how performance of this system-on-chip can be estimated using the proposed model. 001442105 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001442105 650_0 $$aAdaptive computing systems. 001442105 650_0 $$aComputer architecture. 001442105 650_6 $$aSystèmes adaptatifs (Informatique) 001442105 650_6 $$aOrdinateurs$$xArchitecture. 001442105 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001442105 7001_ $$aCorporaal, Henk,$$eauthor. 001442105 7001_ $$aKumar, Akash,$$eauthor. 001442105 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWijtvliet, Mark.$$tBlocks, Towards Energy-Efficient, Coarse-grained Reconfigurable Architectures.$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG, ©2021$$z9783030797737 001442105 852__ $$bebk 001442105 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-79774-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001442105 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1442105$$pGLOBAL_SET 001442105 980__ $$aBIB 001442105 980__ $$aEBOOK 001442105 982__ $$aEbook 001442105 983__ $$aOnline 001442105 994__ $$a92$$bISE
