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 ...
—Computer systems often reach a point at which the relative cost to increase some tunable parameter is no longer worth the corresponding performance benefit. These “knees” t...

Abstract— Post-fabrication tuning provides a promising design approach to mitigate the performance and power overheads of process variation in advanced fabrication technologies. ...
Application-specific processor design is a promising approach for meeting the performance and cost goals of a system. Application-specific processors are especially promising for ...
An energy optimization is proposed that addresses the nontrivial digital contribution to power and impact on performance in high-speed mixed-signal circuits. Parallel energy and b...
