Abstract—Customised processor performance generally increases as additional custom instructions are added. However, performance is not the only metric that modern systems must ta...
In this paper, we introduce the Woolcano reconfigurable processor architecture. The architecture is based on the Xilinx Virtex-4 FX FPGA and leverages the Auxiliary Processing Uni...
Application-specific extensions to the computational capabilities of a processor provide an efficient mechanism to meet the growing performance and power demands of embedded appl...
The last decade has witnessed the emergence of the Application Specific Instruction-set Processor (ASIP) as a viable platform for embedded systems. Extensible ASIPs allow the user...
This paper introduces Way Stealing, a simple architectural modification to a cache-based processor to increase data bandwidth to and from application-specific Instruction Set Exte...
