Extensible processors allow addition of application-specific custom instructions to the core instruction set architecture. These custom instructions are selected through an analys...
Operand gating is a technique for improving processor energy efficiency by gating off sections of the data path that are unneeded by short-precision (narrow) operands. A method fo...
In this paper we research an FPGA based Application Specific Instruction Set Processor (ASIP) tailored to the needs of a flow aware Ethernet access node. The processor has an arch...
