Application-specific customization of the instruction set helps embedded processors achieve significant performance and power efficiency. In this paper, we explore customizatio...
Due to their high volume, general-purpose processors, and now chip multiprocessors (CMPs), are much more cost effective than ASICs, but lag significantly in terms of performance a...
We present a co-simulation environment for multiprocessor architectures, that is based on SystemC and allows a transparent integration of instruction set simulators (ISSs) within ...
: A modern special-purpose processor (e.g., for image and graphical applications) usually contains a set of instructions supporting complex multiply-operations. These instructions ...
