The currently accepted method of accelerating applications in FPGA soft processor systems is to design a custom hardware accelerator. This paper suggests the alternative approach ...
— This paper describes an architecture and FPGA synthesis toolchain for building specialized, energy-saving coprocessors called Irregular Code Energy Reducers (ICERs) for a wide ...
