The paper examines a simple conceptual modification of the operation unit of a RISC processor. We propose to substitute a part of the conventional general purpose register file by...
An instruction set architecture (ISA) suitable for future microprocessor design constraints is proposed. The ISA has hierarchical register files with a small number of accumulator...
Modern Application Specific Instruction Set Processors (ASIPs) have customizable caches, where the size, associativity and line size can all be customized to suit a particular ap...
