PAD: A Design Space Exploration Model For Reconfigurable Systems

Designing an optimized architecture for reconfigurable computing is a very complicated task due to its vast design space. In this paper, we present a novel design exploration model - PAD (power, area and delay). Based on this model, total cost and average cost of application are computed and reconfigurable architecture design space is explored with average cost. This method can effectively help the designer to create appropriate reconfigurable architecture for an application domain at the beginning of design
