Designing a cost effective superscalar architecture for x86 compatible microprocessors is a challenging task in terms of both technical difficulty and commercial value. One of the...
Over the last years, we have witnessed the increased use of Application-Specific Instruction-Set Processors (ASIPs). These ASIPs are processors that have a customizable instruction...
In this paper, we show a novel approach to accelerate loops by tightly coupling a coprocessor to an ASIP. Latency hiding is used to exploit the parallelism available in this archi...
Abstract. It is customary to write performance-critical parts of arithmetic functions in assembly: this enables finely-tuned algorithms that use specialized processor instructions....
