this approach is not new, and has been toyed around since the 1960 (!), see G. Estrin's work on adaptive architectures for example.

i got to know about this as part of PRISM (processor reconfiguration through-instruction set metamorphosis) work in the early 90's. there is a very cool paper by the same name. check it out !
