Interconnect networks play a critical role in shared memory multiprocessor systems-on-chip (MPSoC) designs. MPSoC performance and power consumption are greatly affected by the pac...
In this paper, we investigate the benefits of a flexible, application-specific instruction set by adding a run-time Reconfigurable Functional Unit (RFU) to a VLIW processor. Preli...
Efficient use of an optimized custom memory hierarchy to exploit temporal locality in the memory accesses on array signals can have a very large impact on the power consumption i...
