CDE: A Novel CGRA Development Environment with Fast Design Space Exploration Framework

The Coarse-grained reconfigurable array (CGRA) hardware design optimization is hampered by time-consuming design exploration and evaluation methods. This paper proposes CDE, a novel CGRA Development Environment with a graph-analysis-based fast design space exploration (DSE) framework and an accurate hardware evaluation tool. CDE significantly improves the efficiency of CGRA architecture development, paving the way for agile hardware design.
