Novel aspects of the Garp Architecture are presented, as well as a prototype software environment and preliminary performance results, which suggest that a Garp of similar technology could achieve speedups ranging from a factor of 2 to as high as a factors of 24 for some useful applications.Abstract:
Typical reconfigurable machines exhibit shortcomings that make them less than ideal for general-purpose computing. The Garp Architecture combines reconfigurable hardware with a standard MIPS processor on the same die to retain the better features of both. Novel aspects of the architecture are presented, as well as a prototype software environment and preliminary performance results. Compared to an UltraSPARC, a Garp of similar technology could achieve speedups ranging from a factor of 2 to as high as a factor of 24 for some useful applications.read more
