The capability of performing architectural exploration has become essential for embedded microprocessor design in System-On-Chip. While many retargetable instruction set (ISA) sim...
New application-focused system-on-chip platforms motivate new application-specific processors. Configurable and extensible processor architectures offer the efficiency of tuned lo...

Abstract. We describe a new approach for creating hardware description language (HDL) specifications for custom instructions, to form part of the instruction-set architecture (ISA)...
Software-based fault isolation (SFI), as used in Google’s Native Client (NaCl), relies upon a conceptually simple machine-code analysis to enforce a security policy. But for com...
