Abstract Based on evaluation model, approach to estimating ATP(Area Timing and Power) of RA(Reconfigurable Architecture) at algorithm level is studied. According to ATP, RA design space exploration is carried out in two stages. First,the lowest cost for each architecture to implement all algorithms is searched; second, the optimized architecture is explored in RA design space. This method is independent on any architecture. It can value RA roundly, and fast produce a global optimal result. Application example has shown that it is effectively to guide RA design at an early stage.
