1. INTRODUCTION
Morpheus [1] copes with the challenges of rising complexity and the enlarging design productivity gap by developing a global solution based on a modular heterogeneous System-on-Chip platform providing the disruptive technology of dynamically reconfigurable computing including completed by a software oriented design flow and a consistent toolset (see [2]). MORPHEUS strives to establish the European foundation for a new concept of flexible “domain focused platforms”, which are positioned between general purpose flexible HW and general purpose processors, and provide breakthroughs in performance and cost-effectiveness for embedded computing systems. This three-year project will finally provide a modular silicon demonstrator in 90nm technology composed of complementary run-time reconfigurable building blocks on which four complementary test-cases will be mapped.
