Abstract
In this paper we propose a design space exploration method targeting reconfigurable architectures that takes place at the algorithmic level and aims to rapidly highlight architectures that present good performance vs. flexibility tradeoffs. The exploration flow is based on a functional model to describe the architectures that the designer wants to compare. The paper mainly focuses on the projection step of our flow and presents an allocation heuristic that is based on communication costs reduction.
