N2 - Though dynamic reconfiguration has been applied to processors to enhance performance, their simpleness cannot exceed some limitations. To solve this problem, this paper introduces a consideration based on the 6502 microprocessor, and find that the key to hardware reduction is microscopic partitioning of processor functions. In addition, the implementation depends on an integrated circuit with very fast optical reconfigurability. Its effectiveness, reduction in hardware amount down to one third, is demonstrated by a sample implementation of 6502 on a Xilinx Virtex-II Pro field-programmable gate array.
