Abstract :
The X4CP32 is a novel coarse RPU runtime-reconfigurable general purpose microprocessor. It consists of 3 programming levels, based on a hierarchical array of easily and quickly reconfigurable entities. It brings a new concept of runtime reconfiguration and programming, which is its main strength. Although it is effective in heavy arithmetic applications, it is suited for virtually any task an application can demand, presenting as a solid option for a general purpose microprocessor.
