In this paper, we present a case study for the design, programming and usage of a
reconfigurable system-on-chip, MorphoSys, which is targeted at computation-intensive
applications. This 2-million transistor design combines a reconfigurable array of cells with a
RISC processor core and a high bandwidth memory interface. The system architecture,
software tools including a scheduler for reconfigurable systems, and performance analysis
(with impressive speedups) for target applications are described.
