Energy consumption is a critical design issue in real-time systems, especially in battery- operated systems. Maintaining high performance, while extending the battery life between...
Exploiting instruction-level parallelism (ILP) is extremely important for achieving high performance in application specific instruction set processors (ASIPs) and embedded process...

Abstract. Low power consumption, low gate count, and high throughput are standard design criteria for cryptographic coprocessors designated for resource constrained devices such as...
In modern superscalar processors, the complex instruction scheduler could form the critical path of the pipeline stages and limit the clock cycle time. In addition, complex schedu...
Abstract— Microcode enables programmability of (micro) architectural structures to enhance functionality and to apply patches to an existing design. As more features get added to...
