Abstract
In this contribution we present a novel general model for adaptive processors with organic features. We describe its basic principle of operation. The adaptive operations that are possible with this model are thoroughly discussed with respect to organic computing. The model allows runtime variations of the type and number of functional units as well as variations of the communication structure. Experimental results show that a processor implementing this model can self-optimize its architecture for several diverse applications.
