As FPGA-based systems including soft processors become increasingly common, we are motivated to better understand the architectural trade-offs and improve the efficiency of these...
The currently accepted method of accelerating applications in FPGA soft processor systems is to design a custom hardware accelerator. This paper suggests the alternative approach ...
While soft processors are increasingly common in FPGAbased embedded systems, it remains a challenge to scale their performance. We propose extending soft processor instruction set...

Hybrid chip multithreaded SMPs present new challenges as well as new opportunities to maximize performance. Our intention is to discover the optimal operating configuration of suc...
There is building interest in using FPGAs as accelerators for high-performance computing, but existing systems for programming them are so far inadequate. In this paper we propose...
