In the context of the ERA FP7 European Project we selected a number of applications that are suitable for our reference platform (essentially a SMARTPHONE). For each application there is a "responsible partner" to maintain/port/etc. that code. Those application have been explored to see potentials for reconfiguration of the underlying hardware architecture.
The purpose of re-destributing this set of existing benchmarks is to simply provide a reference set to compare with reconfiguration experiments. We are collecting several data connected to the reconfiguration of those benchmarks and in the future we will disseminate through this website the charactization of those benchmarks in relation with reconfiguration.
This work has been supported by the EUROPEAN UNION throught the FP7 project ERA (id. 249059).
