Many commercially available embedded processors are capable of extending their base instruction set for a specific domain of applications. While steady progress has been made in t...
Adding a small loop cache to a microprocessor has been shown to reduce average instruction fetch energy for various sets of embedded system applications. With the advent of core-b...
The currently accepted method of accelerating applications in FPGA soft processor systems is to design a custom hardware accelerator. This paper suggests the alternative approach ...
