CRISP - A dynamically reconfigurable many-core platform for streaming applications.
Within the Cutting edge Reconfigurable ICs for Stream Processing (CRISP) project, a scalable and dependable reconfigurable many-core system concept has recently been developed. This concept is demonstrated with a hardware verification board that conveys two kinds of chips; the Reconfigurable Fabric Device is used for signal processing, while the General Purpose Device controls the platform. The NoC adapter interface allows for an efficient and convenient programming of the 45 XENTIUM DSP cores. A resource manager abstracts away from the specific locations of the resources, while guaranteeing temporal isolation between processes and dependability information of the various hardware components. This demonstration shows novel concepts integrated in a digital beamforming application and a Global Navigation Satellite System receiver.
