Performance evaluation is a serious challenge in designing or optimizing reconfigurable instruction set processors. The conventional approaches based on synthesis and simulations a...
In this paper, we investigate the benefits of a flexible, application-specific instruction set by adding a run-time Reconfigurable Functional Unit (RFU) to a VLIW processor. Preli...
During the last years, the growing application complexity, design, and mask costs have compelled embedded system designers to increasingly consider partially reconfigurable applica...
High performance general-purpose processors are increasingly being used for a variety of application domains scienti c, engineering, databases, and more recently, media processing...
