The Morphware Stable Interface: A Software Framework for Polymorphous Computing Architectures

Abstract

Polymorphous Computing Architectures (PCAs) are computing devices that are capable of significant, rapid reconfiguration directed by software. Composed of several groups of computing elements, PCA devices can be configured to achieve high performance on a wide variety of problem types and processing demands. We describe an emerging concept called the Morphware Stable Interface (MSI), a portable, scalable software development framework to harness the power and complexity of PCAs, while allowing productive software development, and rapid adoption of PCA devices.
