摘要

Polymorphic computing is widely seen as next evolutionary step in designing advanced computing architectures. This paper presents a brief history of reconfigurable and polymorphic computing, and highlights the recent trends and challenges. A novel polymorphic architecture featuring programmable memory event triggers and a new concept of control agents is proposed. This architecture can provide dynamic load balancing, distributed control, separated memory and processing fabrics, configurable memory blocks, and task-optimized computation.
