Abstract

It is very important to design a good routing-system for the whole compile-synthesis system of reconfigurable architecture (RA). Because the routing resources of coarse-grain RA (CGRA) are less than those of fine-grain RA, and several functions are often defined in same one element of RA, it is difficult to find a good route. Therefore, it is more important for routing-algorithm of CGRA to have stronger ability of finding feasible and optimum path. In the paper, the improved max—min Ant System (MMAS) that added the ability of smell for ant is applied for the routing problem of CGRA. By several benchmarks on CTaiJi that is a new developed CGRA, The improved MMAS shows better ability to find the best solution than PathFinder that is often used now.
