Implementation of W-CDMA cell search on a runtime reconfigurable coarse-grain array

This paper describes the implementation of W-CDMA cell search on a reconfigurable architecture. The architecture is composed of a general-purpose processor core and a reconfigurable coarse-grain array accelerator. In this work we used a computational kernel mapped on the reconfigurable array to execute the W-CDMA target cell search. The acceleration produces a 26times total speed-up against a 4times overhead in area.
