Abstract EN
Runtime adaptivity of hardware in processor architectures is a novel trend, which is under investigation in a variety of research labs all over the world.
The runtime exchange of modules, implemented on a reconfigurable hardware, affects the instruction flow (e.g., in reconfigurable instruction set processors) or the data flow, which has a strong impact on the performance of an application.
Furthermore, the choice of a certain processor architecture related to the class of target applications is a crucial point in application development.
A simple example is the domain of high-performance computing applications found in meteorology or high-energy physics, where vector processors are the optimal choice.
A classification scheme for computer systems was provided in 1966 by Flynn where single/multiple data and instruction streams were combined to four types of architectures.
This classification is now used as a foundation for an extended classification scheme including runtime adaptivity as further degree of freedom for processor architecture design.
The developed scheme is validated by a multiprocessor system implemented on reconfigurable hardware as well as by a classification of existing static and reconfigurable processor systems.
