Abstract

The Berkeley Emulation Engine 2 (BEE2) project is developing a
reusable, modular, and scalable framework for designing high-end
reconfigurable computers, including a processing-module building block
and several programming models. Using these elements, BEE2 can provide
over 10 times more computing throughput than a DSP-based system with
similar power consumption and cost and over 100 times that of a
microprocessor-based system.
