Abstract

MorphoSys is a reconfigurable architecture for computation intensive applications. It combines both coarse grain and fine grain reconfiguration techniques to optimize hardware, based on the application domain. M2, the current implementation, is developed as an IP core. It is synthesized based on the TSMC 0.13 micron technology. Experimental results show that for multimedia applications MorphoSys has a performance comparable to ASICs with the added benefit of being able to be reconfigured for different applications in one clock cycle.
