Design and verification of dynamically reconfigurable architecture

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel programmable reconfigurable architecture, called vCell Matrix. Proposed architecture is based on the Cell Matrix architecture with several important modifications that allow simpler and fast reconfiguration. The new architecture is optimized for the implementation using Xilinx FPGA devices. A special embedded system, based on Xilinx Virtex5 FPGA device, together with embedded Linux was also developed to test the performance of the vCell Matrix architecture. © 2012 IEEE.
