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 ...

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 ...

Performance evaluation is a serious challenge in

designing or optimizing reconfigurable instruction set processors.

The conventional approaches based on synthesis and simulations

are very time consuming ...

This paper introduces an energy efficient acceleration

technique for embedded microprocessors. By means of

supporting an ALU-array based coarse-grain reconfigurable

functional unit, well customized ...
