Abstract
Disclosed herein is a framework to generate ULP, energy-minimal coarse-grain reconfigurable arrays that execute in a spatial vector-dataflow fashion, mapping a dataflow graph spatially across a fabric of processing elements, applying the same DFG to many input data values, and routing intermediate values directly from producers to consumers. The spatial vector-dataflow minimizes instruction and data-movement energy and also eliminates unnecessary a switching activity because operations do not share execution hardware.
