Abstract. Multimedia and network processing applications make extensive use of subword data. Since registers are capable of holding a full data word, when a subword variable is ass...
Software-based self-testing is a promising approach for the testing of processor cores which are embedded inside a System-on-a-Chip (SoC), as it can apply test vectors in function...

This paper discusses a register bank assignment problem for a popular network processor--Intel's IXP. Due to limited data paths, the network processor has a restriction that ...
This paper describes a methodology for synthesizing the data-path of a Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) based Video Signal Processor (VSP). Offering both performance and programm...
In this paper we employ two techniques suitable for embedded media processors. The first technique, extended subwords, uses four extra bits for every byte in a media register. Th...
