This paper introduces the notion of a Flexible Instruction Processor (FIP) for systematic customisation of instruction processor design and implementation. The features of our app...
Instruction set simulators are critical tools for the exploration and validation of new programmable architectures. Due to increasing complexity of the architectures and timeto-ma...
Replacing functional units of an extensible processor with reconfigurable functional units enhances performance and flexibility of processors to execute custom instructions. That ...
By coupling a reconfigurable hardware to a standard processor, high levels of flexibility and adaptability are achieved. However, this approach requires modifications to the compi...
