Template-based compilation for coarse-grained reconfigurable processor

The Compiler is very important to facilitate the use of reconfigurable processor. In this paper, a template-based compilation mechanism is proposed for coarse-grained reconfigurable processor. Based on template extraction and template matching, the proposed compilation mechanism can synthesize the executables for reconfigurable processor automatically. Experimental results show that the template-based compilation can significantly improve the execution performance and reduce the configuration-context size of the executables, compared with the operator-based compilation.
