Performance estimation of processor is important to select the right processor for an application. Poorly chosen processors can either under perform very badly or over perform but...
Accelerating program performance via SIMD vector units is very common in modern processors, as evidenced by the use of SSE, MMX, VSE, and VSX SIMD instructions in multimedia, scien...
Power leakage constitutes an increasing fraction of the total power consumption in modern semiconductor technologies. Recent research efforts have tried to integrate architecture...
Abstract - In this paper, we hypothesize that reconfigurable computing is not more widely used because of the logistical difficulties caused by the close coupling of applications a...

Extensible processors allow addition of application-specific custom instructions to the core instruction set architecture. These custom instructions are selected through an analys...
