Abstract
The R-Mesh is a theoretical model that permits us to study reconfiguration as an integral tool for computation. By various limitations, enhancements, and alternatives, one can isolate the contributions of different aspects of reconfiguration. Nevertheless, one feature of the R-Mesh that cannot currently be realized is a constant delay bus of arbitrary length, spanning an almost arbitrary subset of processors. Reconfiguration is feasible, however, in a way that can lead to smaller, faster, and cheaper solutions for many problems and in a way impossible without reconfiguration.
