Low-Power Reconfigurable Architectures for High-Performance Mobile Nodes

Modern embedded systems have an emerging demand on high performance and low power circuits. Traditionally special functional units for each application are developed separately. These are plugged to a general purpose processors to extend its instruction set making it an application specific instruction set processor. As this strategy reaches its boundaries in area and complexity reconfigurable architectures propose to be more flexible. Thus combining both approaches to a reconfigurable application specific processor is going to be the upcoming solution for future embedded systems.
