An application specific Java processor with reconfigurabilities

The paper presents an application specific Java processor including reconfigurabilities, which is a DLX like pipeline processor with 5 stages and executes Java byte codes directly. Reconfigurabilities are the key technologies for application specific operations. We have introduced two reconfigurabilities: (1) a mechanism to override the control signals for a specific instruction, (2) external components can be attached with the same input and output ports as the internal ALU.
