Abstract

The increase of stream-based applications complexity has demanded hardware more flexible and able to reaching higher performance. Reconfigurable architectures have been showed significant progresses in exploiting the parallelism of these applications. This paper presents RoSA, a coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture that combines compilation techniques and hardware reuse to accelerate the execution of stream-based applications. The results showed that RoSA achieved performance gains of more than 74% over the code that can be executed concurrently and 55% of the total cost of the applications.
