Abstract
In many of the various layers of software supporting reconfigurable architectures such as compilers, operating systems, synthesis tools, and so forth, a primary objective is to deliver the performance, power, cost, and other advantages of reconfigurable architectures to a target application. Inherent to these tools are various estimation procedures for such performance metrics as throughput time, power, reliability, cost, and so on. Analysis of Reconfigurable Computers (ARC) is a comprehensive analysis and modeling tool we are developing that can be used to calculate these and other performance metrics.
