In this paper, we propose a low-power approach to the design of embedded very long instruction word (VLIW) processor architectures based on the forwarding (or bypassing) hardware, ...
This paper presents a new and retargetable method to identify patterns of instructions with direct support in coarsegrained processing elements (PEs). The method uses a three-addr...
Dynamic predication has been proposed to reduce the branch misprediction penalty due to hard-to-predict branch instructions. A recently proposed dynamic predication architecture, ...
Short vector (SIMD) instructions are useful in signal processing, multimedia, and scientific applications. They offer higher performance, lower energy consumption, and better res...
