Encapsulating critical computation subgraphs as application-specific instruction

set extensions is an effective technique to enhance the performance and energy

efficiency of embedded processors. However, the ...

Security is a growing concern brought by explosive development of the computer networks. Firewalls are building blocks forming a first line of defense in the network security architecture. We have implemented a firewall ...

Application-specific instruction set extension is an effective

technique for reducing accesses to components such as on- and

off-chip memories, register file and enhancing the energy

efficiency. However, ...

Multitude parameters in the design process of a reconfigurable instruction-set processor (RISP) may lead to a large design space and remarkable complexity. Quantitative design approach uses the data collected from applications ...
