This paper presents the enhancement of an ASIP’s floating point performance by coupling of a co-processor and adding of special instructions. Processor hardware modifications an...
Embedded designers now have the capability of offloading software routines into custom applicationspecific hardware blocks. This paper evaluates a domain-specific design system fo...
While soft processors are increasingly common in FPGAbased embedded systems, it remains a challenge to scale their performance. We propose extending soft processor instruction set...
