Fine-grain performance scaling of soft vector processors
Embedded systems are often implemented on FPGA devices and 25% of the time [2] include a soft processor— a processor built using the FPGA reprogrammable fabric. Because of their...

VESPA: portable, scalable, and flexible FPGA-based vector processors
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...
