Hybrid processors are HW/SW co-designed processors that leverage blocked-execution, the execution of regions of instructions as atomic blocks, to facilitate aggressive speculative...
This paper presents a reconfigurable functional unit (RFU) for an adaptive dynamic extensible processor. The processor can tune its extended instructions to the target application...
An example of an FPGA based application for a high-energy physics experiment is presented which features all facets of modern FPGA design. The special requirements here are high b...
