XPP-III is a fully programmable coarse-grain reconfigurable processor. It is scalable and built from several modules: the reconfigurable XPP Array for high bandwidth dataflow processing, the Function-PAEs for sequential code sections and other modules for data communication and storage. XPP-III is programmable in C and comes with a cycle-accurate simulator and a complete development environment. A specific XPP-III hardware implementation is integrated in the MORPHEUS chip.
