The instruction sets of general-purpose microprocessors are designed to offer good performance across a wide range of programs. The size and complexity of the instruction sets, how...
Multiple issue of instructions occurs in superscalar and VLIW machines. This paper investigates a third type of machine design, which combines the advantages of code compatibility...
Extensible processors allow addition of application-specific custom instructions to the core instruction set architecture. These custom instructions are selected through an analys...
Common generated instruction selections are based on tree pattern matching, but modern and custom architectures feature instructions, which cannot be covered by trees. To overcome...
