摘要
Reconfigurable instruction set processors have the capability, to adapt their instruction sets to the application being executed through a reconfiguration in their hardware. Through this adaptation, the) nr-e expected to achieve a great improvement rn performance compared to fixed instruction set processors. In this paper, we discuss the different hardware aspects that have to be considered during the design of such a reconfigurable processor. The topics discussed include the coupling of the processor and the reconfigurable logic, configuration, instruction coding and scheduling. granularity, hardware cache and reconfigurability. A classification of current reconfigurable processors is done according to the discussed topics.
