Abstract

A system for creating an adaptive computing engine (ACE) includes algorithmic elements adaptable for use in the ACE and configured to provide algorithmic operations, and provides mapping of the algorithmic operations to heterogeneous nodes. The mapping is for initially configuring the heterogeneous nodes to provide appropriate hardware circuit functions that perform algorithmic operations. A reconfigurable interconnection network interconnects the heterogeneous nodes. The mapping includes selecting a combination of ACE building blocks from the ACE building block types for the appropriate hardware circuit functions. The system and corresponding method also includes utilizing the algorithmic operations for optimally configuring the heterogeneous nodes to provide the appropriate hardware circuit function. The utilizing includes the simulating of the performance of the ACE with the combination of ACE building blocks and altering the combination until predetermined performance standards that determine the efficiency of the ACE are met while simulating performance of the ACE.
