Reconfigurable instruction set processors have the capability to adapt their instruction sets to the application being executed through a reconfiguration in their hardware. Throug...
Application-specific instructions can significantly improve the performance, energy, and code size of configurable processors. A common approach used in the design of such instruc...
Early energy estimation is increasingly important in MultiProcessor System-On-Chip (MPSoC) design. Applying traditional approaches, which consist in delaying the estimation until t...
