| About the DAPDNA-2*** Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor |
| DAPDNA-2 is a dual-core processor, comprised of a high-performance RISC processor core, called the DAP, and the dynamically reconfigurable core, DNA, a two-dimensional array of 376 processing elements (PEs). DAPDNA-2 can change its hardware configuration to provide the optimal circuitry for an application on demand. This configuration change can take place not only when the system is designed, but also during operation, dynamically, in a single clock cycle****, to meet the instantaneous change in needs of applications implemented by the system. |
| Terminology |
* DAPDNA: Digital Application Processor, Distributed Network Architecture.
** Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor: A processor capable of changing chip circuitry dynamically.
*** DAPDNA-2: Product name of dynamically reconfigurable processor from IPFlex.
**** a single clock cycle: One clock switching operation is possible by creating configuration information beforehand and storing in the background configuration banks. |
