In this paper, we investigate the benefits of a flexible, application-specific instruction set by adding a run-time Reconfigurable Functional Unit (RFU) to a VLIW processor. Preli...
—Periodic on-chip scan-based tests have to be applied to a many-core processor SoC to improve its dependability. An infrastructural IP module has been designed and incorporated i...
Industry’s demand for flexible embedded solutions providing high performance and short time-to-market has led to the development of configurable and extensible processors. The...

: Advanced architectural features of microprocessors like instruction level parallelism and pipelined functional hardware units require code generation techniques beyond the scope ...
Wire delays are a major concern for current and forthcoming processors. One approach to attack this problem is to divide the processor into semi-independent units referred to as c...
