Abstract

​

The increasing cost of ASIC has been driving designers to choose more flexible solutions, as new chip architectures should be able to deliver high performance while maintaining low power consumption, area, and costs in shorter time-to-market environments. As a result, reconfigurable processors (RPs) have become increasingly important in recent years. In this work, we present a new approach that utilizes an RP to design a tile-based GPU, a core component of today’s mobile application processors. Experimental results show that the use of RP based GPUs can be a versatile graphics solution, as they support scalable, flexible architecture models.
