Dynamically Reconfigurable Resource Array

Dynamically Reconfigurable Resource Array DRRA is an architecture concept that is in tune with the technology trend: exponentially increasing device density due to shrinking geometry, 3D integration and potential new device structures in future. DRRA’s objectives are: 1. Radically improve performance/energy metric: Minimize movement of data, 2. Simplify the programming model to exploit the massive concurrency 3. Programmable/reconfigurable architecture so that it can be reused and can cope with change in specifications. 4. Tolerant to manufacturing variations and runtime failure of some resources.
