In a C compiler, function calls are difficult to implement correctly because they must respect a platform-specific calling convention. But they are governed by a simple invariant...
Thread-level speculative execution is a technique that makes it possible for a wider range of single-threaded applications to make use of the processing resources in a chip multip...
Large Virtual Worlds (VWs) are increasingly common in the computer graphics areas of simulation, games, geospatial or scientific visualisation. In such VWs, simulated motion of th...
This paper describes a novel technique called Embedded Test-bench Control (ETC), extensively used in the verification of Tensilica’s latest configurable processor. Conventional ...
This paper focuses on designing network processing software for embedded processors. Our design flow CRACC represents an efficient path to implementation based on a modular applic...
