Evaluating Instruction Set Extensions for Fast Arithmetic on Binary Finite Fields
Binary finite fields GF(2n ) are very commonly used in cryptography, particularly in publickey algorithms such as Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). On word-oriented programmable ...

Reducing code size with echo instructions
In an embedded system, the cost of storing a program onchip can be as high as the cost of a microprocessor. Compressing an application’s code to reduce the amount of memory requ...

Understanding the backward slices of performance degrading instructions
For many applications, branch mispredictions and cache misses limit a processor’s performance to a level well below its peak instruction throughput. A small fraction of static i...

Custom Instruction Generation Using Temporal Partitioning Techniques for a Reconfigurable Functional Unit
Extracting appropriate custom instructions is an important phase for implementing an application on an extensible processor with a reconfigurable functional unit (RFU). Custom inst...
