Reconfigurable hardware has the potential for significant performance improvements by providing support for application−specific operations. We report our experience with Chimaera, a prototype system that integrates a small and fast reconfigurable functional unit (RFU) into the pipeline
The Chimera Reconfigurable Functional Unit
, 2004
"... By strictly separating reconfigurable logic from the host processor, current custom computing systems suffer from a significant communication bottleneck. In this paper, we describe Chimaera, a system that overcomes the communication bottleneck by integrating reconfigurable logic into the host proce ..."

processor itself. With direct access to the host processor’s register file, the system enables the creation of multi-operand instructions and a speculative execution model key to high-performance, general-purpose reconfigurable computing. Chimaera also supports multi-output functions and utilizes partial
A High-Performance Microarchitecture with Hardware-Programmable Functional Units

DIVA: A Reliable Substrate for Deep Submicron Microarchitecture Design
- In Proc. 32nd Annual Intl. Symp. on Microarchitecture
, 1999
"... Building a high-petformance microprocessor presents many reliability challenges. Designers must verify the correctness of large complex systems and construct implementations that work reliably in varied (and occasionally adverse) operating conditions. To&rther complicate this task, deep submicro ..."

of correctness in microprocessor designs. The approach works by augmenting the commit phase of the processor pipeline with a functional checker unit. Thefunctional checker verifies the correctness of the core processor’s computation, only permitting correct results to commit. Overall design cost can
Larrabee: a many-core x86 architecture for visual computing
- In SIGGRAPH ’08: ACM SIGGRAPH 2008 papers
, 2008
"... Abstract 123 This paper presents a many-core visual computing architecture code named Larrabee, a new software rendering pipeline, a manycore programming model, and performance analysis for several applications. Larrabee uses multiple in-order x86 CPU cores that are augmented by a wide vector proces ..."

It also greatly increases the flexibility and programmability of the architecture as compared to standard GPUs. A
CHIMAERA: Integrating a Reconfigurable Unit into a High-Performance, Dynamically-Scheduled Superscalar Processor
"... We report our experience with Chimaera, a prototype system that integrates a small and fast reconfigurable functional unit (RFU) into the pipeline of an aggressive, dynamically-scheduled superscalar processor.

Wide-Area Group Membership for Tightly-Coupled Services
"... Today’s large-scale services generally exploit looselycoupled architectures that restrict functionality requiring tight cooperation (e.g., leader election, synchronization, and reconfiguration) to a small subset of nodes. In contrast, this work presents a way to scalably deploy tightlycoupled distri ..."

Recent FPGA architectures have shown an increased emphasis on run-time reconfiguration, or the ability to rapidly change the functionality of the FPGA to sequentially accommodate large processing tasks. In addition, partial reconfiguration allows for the reconfiguration of a portion of the FPGA whil ..."
