Abstract: The generate efficiency and quality of configuration information directly affect the operation effect of the coarse grained reconfigurable SoC. Since the traditional approach treats the configuration memory as a whole, and each processing unit needs to read configuration information from the memory, the operation efficiency is low and the power consumption is large. In this paper, a low power hierarchical configuration information storage architecture is designed, which divides configuration information into separate operating configuration information and interconnect configuration information, and then generates the configuration information based on the context. Experimental results show that the configuration information generation method proposed in this paper can reduce power consumption of 23.7%-32.6% while keeping the same performance. At the same time, because of the separation of the operation and the configuration information, the configuration information capacity is small, so it has a great advantage in configuration speed and performance.
