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
