Abstract
This paper introduces MorphoSys, a parallel system-on-chip which combines a RISC processor with an array of coarse-grain reconfigurable cells. MorphoSys integrates the flexibility of general-purpose systems and high performance levels typical of application-specific systems. Simulation results presented here show significant performance enhancements for different classes of applications, as compared to conventional architectures.
