Abstract
This paper introduces a design space explorer for coarse-grained reconfigurable KressArray architectures – to enable the designer to find out the optimal KressArray architecture for a given application. This tool employs a mapper based on simulated annealing, and is highly configurable for a variety of different KressArray architectures. Using performance estimation and other statistic data, the user can interactively change the architecture, until it suits the requirements of the application.
