Development and Synthesis of Adaptive Multi-grained Reconfigurable Hardware Architecture for Dynamic Function Patterns

Since the 1980s many reconfigurable architectures have been developed and explored by the industrial and scientific community. However as long as Moore’s Law has its validity each technology step forces the developers to rethink their approaches and even more to develop new ideas to be able to keep up with current technological challenges. The main goal of this project was the exploration of existing architectures and development of new ideas and concepts to increase the functional density and flexibility resulting in the new approach, the HoneyComb architecture.
