TITLE: Architectures and Methodologies for Dynamic REconfigurable Logic (AMDREL)
The main objective of the proposed project is to develop
methodologies, tools and intellectual property blocks to be
integrated in a mixed granularity dynamically reconfigurable
System-on-Chip (SoC) implementation platform for the efficient
realization of wireless communications systems.
The major improvements developed by this project will concern:
a) the reduced design time and time to market of systems in the
target application domain and
b) the improved balance between flexibility (highly desired in
the target application domain) and performance, energy and area
in comparison to traditional implementation platforms such as
custom (hardware) and instruction set (software) processors and
to more recent single granularity reconfigurable ones such as
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs).
Partners in this project are Intracom, STMicroelectronics Belgium
(former AME), Democritus University of Thrace, and IMEC.
Free tools will be available in late Feb. 2004 at: AMDREL
