Abstract

Recently, reconfigurable architectures, which outperform DSP processors, have become important. Although many compilers have been developed on a source-level, there are several practical benefits to translating the binary targeted to popular processors onto reconfigurable architectures. However, the translated code could be less optimized. In particular, it is difficult to optimize memory accesses on a binary to exploit pipeline parallelism. This paper introduces dynamic binary translation and memory access optimization to overcome the limitations of static binary translation for reconfigurable architecture. The experimental results show a promising speedup up to 3.02 compared with the code whose memory accesses is not optimized in the pipeline fashion.
