  • Abstract
    This paper motivates the use of hardware visualization on coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures. We introduce Zippy, a coarse-grained multi-context hybrid CPU with architectural support for efficient hardware virtualization. The architectural details and the corresponding tool flow are outlined. As a case study, we compare the non-virtualized and the virtualized execution of an ADPCM decoder.
