Almost every computer architect dreams of achieving high system performance with low implementation costs. A multigauge machine can reconfigure its data-path width, provide parallelism, achieve better resource utilization, and sometimes can trade computational precision for increased speed. A simple experimental method is used here to capture the main characteristics of multigauging. The measurements indicate evidence of near-optimal speedups. Adapting these ideas in designing parallel processors incurs low costs and provides flexibility. Several operational aspects of designing a multigauge machine are discussed as well. Thus, this research reports the technical, economical, and operational feasibility studies of multigauging.
