Abstract -- This paper introduces a new HW/SW partitioning algorithm used in automating the instruction set processor design for pipelined ASIP (Application Specific Integrated Pro...
The conventional classification of inter-instruction dependencies (data, anti and output dependencies) provides a basic scheme for the analysis of pipeline hazards in pipelined in...
Reconfigurable computing is one of the most recent research topics in computer science. The Altera™ Nios II soft-core processor can be included in a large set of reconfigurable ...
