Adaptive hardware reconfiguration of configurable co-processor cores for hardware optimization of functionality blocks based on use case prediction, and related methods, circuits, and computer-readable media are disclosed. In one embodiment, an indication of one or more applications for possible execution is received. Execution probabilities for respective ones of the one or more applications are received. One or more mappings of the one or more applications to one or more functionality blocks is accessed, and a net benefit of hardware reconfiguration of one or more configurable co-processor cores of a multicore central processing unit for the one or more functionality blocks is calculated based on the execution probabilities and the mappings. An optimal hardware reconfiguration is determined based on a current hardware configuration and the calculated net benefit. The configurable co-processor cores are reconfigured based on the optimal hardware reconfiguration.

A wireless mobile device includes a configurable co-processor core(s). The wireless mobile device also includes a multi-core central processing unit coupled to a memory and the configurable co-processor core(s). The multi-core central processing unit may select from a set of hardware accelerators according to a user's use pattern. The wireless mobile device also includes a hardware controller that reconfigures the configurable co-processor core(s) according to a selected hardware accelerator.
