Due to the continuously decreasing cost of FPGAs, they have become a valid implementation platform for SOCs. Typically, a soft core processor implementation is used to execute the ...
In this paper, the program control unit of an embedded RISC processor is enhanced with a novel zerooverhead loop controller (ZOLC) supporting arbitrary loop structures with multip...
— Java, a popular programming language on desktop systems, is rarely used in embedded systems. Some features of Java, like thread support in the language, could greatly simplify ...
