Abstract—In order to check the fulfilment of non-functional requirements at an early system design and development stage, we provide a framework that facilitates the combination ...
Short vector SIMD instructions on recent microprocessors, such as SSE on Pentium III and 4, speed up code but are a major challenge to software developers. We present a compiler t...
This paper briefly reviews the current research into RISC microprocessor architecture, which now seems to be so complex as to make the acronym somewhat of an oxymoron. In response...
This paper describes a new instruction-supply mechanism, called the eXtended Block Cache (XBC). The goal of the XBC is to improve on the Trace Cache (TC) hit rate, while providing...
In this paper we research an FPGA based Application Specific Instruction Set Processor (ASIP) tailored to the needs of a flow aware Ethernet access node. The processor has an arch...
