Application-specific instructions can significantly improve the performance, energy, and code size of configurable processors. A common approach used in the design of such instruc...
Instruction combining is an optimization to replace a sequence of instructions with a more efficient instruction yielding the same result in a fewer machine cycles. When we use it...
Abstract. In DSP processors, minimizing the amount of address calculations is critical for reducing code size and improving performance since studies of programs have shown that in...
