Abstract—Customised processor performance generally increases as additional custom instructions are added. However, performance is not the only metric that modern systems must ta...
We propose a novel methodology to generate Application Specific Instruction Processors (ASIPs) including custom instructions. Our implementation balances performance and area req...
—Multi-cycle Instruction set extensions (ISE) can be pipelined in order to increase their throughput; however, typical program traces seldom contain consecutive calls to the same...

Extensible processors allow addition of application-specific custom instructions to the core instruction set architecture. However, it is computationally expensive to automaticall...
Silicon compilers are often used in conjunction with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to deliver flexibility, fast prototyping, and accelerated time-to-market. Many of these...
