Due to the continuously decreasing cost of FPGAs, they have become a valid implementation platform for SOCs. Typically, a soft core processor implementation is used to execute the ...
Medium-grain reconfigurable hardware (MGRH) architectures represent a hybrid between the versatility of a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and the computational power of a cust...
This paper proposes and evaluates hardware mechanisms for supporting prescient instruction prefetch--an approach to improving single-threaded application performance by using help...
