Introduction
INTRODUCTION
• A reconfigurable processor is a microprocessor with

erasable hardware that can rewire itself dynamically.
• This allows the chip to adapt effectively to the

programming tasks demanded by the particular
software they are interfacing with at any given time.
• Reconfigurable processor chip usually contains

several parallel processing computational units
known as functional blocks.
When a particular software is loaded the
present hardware design is erased and a new
hardware design is generated by making a
particular number of connections active while
making others idle.
• It is possible to get ten times better
performance, with ten times lower energy
consumption at the same time, according to
Heysters. He did his research at the Centre
for Telematics and
Information Technology of the University of Twente
in The Netherlands.
WHAT IS RECONFIGURABLE
PROCESSOR??
A reconfigurable processor is a
microprocessor with erasable hardware that
can rewire itself dynamically.
CONTD..
For example, a single device could serve as both a

camera and a tape recorder (among numerous other
possibilities): you would simply download the desired
software and the processor would reconfigure itself to
optimize performance for that function.
CONTD..
• ASIC provide ultimate

performance but fail in
time-to-market and
unable to satisfy the
need of flexibility.
• Reconfiguration versus
Dedicated Hardware -
higher performance,
lower cost and lower
power consumption.
• can create customized communications signal
processors
• increased performance and channel count
• can more quickly adapt to new requirements and

standards
• lower development costs and reduce risk.
• Reducing power
• Reducing manufacturing cost.

• Inertia – Engineers slow to change
o Inertia is the worst problem facing
reconfigurable computing
• RCP designs requires comprehensive set

of tools
• 'Learning curve' for designers unfamiliar with

reconfigurable logic
ADVANTAGES OF GPP
One chip can run a range of

programs. That's why you don't
need separate computers for
different jobs.
For any one application, much of the chip's
circuitry isn't needed, and the presence of
those "wasted" circuits slows things down.
CHAMELEON CHIP
Chameleon chips are able to rewire themselves

on the fly to create the exact hardware needed to
run a piece of software at the utmost speed. an
example of such kind of a chip is a chameleon
chip.this can also be called a “chip on demand”
ADVANTAGES OF CHAMELEON
CHIP
• can create customized communications signal

processors
• increased performance and channel count
• can more quickly adapt to new requirements and
standards
• lower development costs and reduce risk.
One of the most promising approaches in
the realm of reconfigurable architecture is
a technology called "field-programmable
gate arrays."
FPGA
FPGA(Contd..)
FPGAs are arrays of logic blocks that are strung together through
software commands to implement higher-order logic functions.
Logic blocks are similar to switches with multiple inputs and a
single output, and are used in digital circuits to perform binary
operations.
CONCLUSION
Highly flexible processors that can be

reconfigured remotely in the field,
Chameleon's chips are designed to simplify
communication system design while delivering
increased price/performance numbers.
A FUTURISTIC DREAM
One day, someone will make a chip that does everything for the ultimate
consumer device. The chip will be smart enough to be the brains of a
cell phone that can transmit or receive calls anywhere in the world. If the
reception is poor, the phone will automatically adjust so that the quality
improves. At the same time, the device will also serve as a handheld
organizer and a player for music, videos, or games.
Unfortunately, that chip doesn't exist today.
It would require
• flexibility
• high performance
• low power
• and low cost
