Real-time and embedded systems have historically been small scale. However, advances in
microelectronics and software now allow embedded systems to be composed of a large set …

Recent high-level synthesis approaches and C-based hardware description languages
attempt to improve the hardware design process by allowing developers to capture desired …

Although transistor scaling keeps following Moore's law, and more area is available for
designers, the clock frequency and ILP rate do not present the same level of growth …

In these days, every new added hardware feature must not change the underlying
Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), in order to avoid adaptation or recompilation of existing …

The design of energy‐efficient systems has become a major challenge for engineers over
the last decade. One way to save energy is to spread out computations in space rather than …

In this paper, we study the feasibility of moving the instruction set customization process for
reconfigurable ASIPs to runtime under the precondition that current FPGA devices and tools …

Application-specific hardware accelerators can significantly improve a system's
performance. In a Java-based system, we then have to consider a hybrid architecture that …

This work proposes a Java-based framework to teach computer architecture design. Our
methodology allows students rapidly to explore many different concepts across multiple …

We introduce thread warping, a dynamic optimization technique that customizes multicore
architectures to a given application by dynamically synthesizing threads into custom …
