Application-specific customization of soft processor microarchitecture
A key advantage of soft processors (processors built on an FPGA programmable fabric) over hard processors is that they can be customized to suit an application program's spec...

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...
