Low Power Design of the Processer Based on Architecture Modifications
In the recent era as the devices are shrinking down low power design methodologies are of greater importance.A CGRA that is focused on data path computations for a particular application domain is a balancing act akin to design an ASIC and a FPGA simultaneously. Narrowing the application domain significantly makes the design of the CGRA very much like that of a programmable ASIC. Widening the application domain requires a more flexible data path that requires more configurable over head and has less overall efficiency compared to an FPGA.So A reconfigurable architecture is used with modified architecture in ALU arrays, there by reducing power. The Architecture presented is replaceable to all processors including DSP processors .
